I've been having problems with my computer

For the past two days ever since I upgraded my motherboard's (A8N-SLI Deluxe) BIOS, I've been encountering random lock ups, no BSODS or anything just locks the entire system up.

Currently I'm testing my system with Prime95 stress test, ripping a DVD with DVDShrink and listening to iTunes.

If there was a problem, do you think it would show it's ugly face while all three of these things are running?
 
Probably, I would also suggest running Memtest86 to make sure your memory is stable. Prime95 in itself should me enough of a stressor, especially for a single core CPU. You may want to try reverting back to the old BIOS and see if it has any effect on your system stability.
 
Yes, I actually did revert back to one of the older BIOS #s. I'm running 1008. I was at the original that shipped with the board, 1004. If I lock up at all I will go back to 1006 and then 1004 if the need arises.
