I have a Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard that I purchased back in March. When I first installed the board, I would regularly get a blue screen popping up. After I updated the BIOS for the motherboard, I no longer got the blue screen. However, about 3 weeks ago, I had a blue screen. After updating the BIOS, that fixed it or so it seemed. I now get occasional blue screens that pop up and they are not as frequent as they were before but they just pop up randomly. To my knowledge my BIOS is the most up to date. Does anyone have a similar problem, or know how to fix it? Or do I just need to get a new motherboard?

I really don't know to be honest. When I installed windows, everything ran fine for about 3 weeks. Then it start bsod about once everytime the computer was on. So I updated the BIOS and it stopped bsod until about 3 weeks ago. That's when it would bsod again, except it was no where near as bad as when I first had the problem. I updated the bios again and I was good until about 4 days ago.
I am using Norton antivirus.
No I have not yet. I will probably attempt that today sometime.

Also when I get a bsod, its not at one particular time all the time. It happens at random. I have never had one on boot up though. I had it happen while on the internet, playing a game, and it has happened a couple of times when my computer is just sitting there idling. Recently it has all happened while I had the internet open for either doing school work or just surfing the web. (idk if that will help or not)
