Asus A7v8x-x bios problem

[Mourningshadow]

Ok, so I built this computer for a friend, everything was going great, everything was working well, then all of a sudden the thing starts just shutting off for no reason when I run some applications, it is random, shuts off when I try to connect to a server for MoH, shut off after I was checking the cpu temp in the bios, shut off when I was installing gamespy. I know the problem is in the Motherboard, it is not an overheating cpu. My problem is I tried to update the bios, I downloaded the latest file from the asus website, ran the EZ bios utility, typed in the bios name from the A drive and it kept giving me the message "Warning, Bios file does not match on board, hit key to reboot" anyone have any ideas? I know it is the right bios file for my motherboard.

Mourningshadow - I have no help but would like to know if and how you solved the problem. I was just about to update the bios on my a7v8x-x but now kind of think...I can wait awhile! Good luck, let us know.

This is a dumb question, but you're sure you selected the "x" version of the motherboard when you pulled down the bios off of asus?

yup, possitive, tried it again with the same results, still no solution
