I have recently bought this board and am running 4670k (no overclock), GTX770, 8gb 1333 on it (all new parts except the ram) and I am having a few problems.

First problem: When I go into the bios there is a tab up the top called performance which when I click it the computer will freeze and I will have to reboot the system. I can use all other available tabs and settings but not this one for some reason, and it is the most important. this is what it looks like:

Second problem: When I put my computer to sleep it won't wake up properly. What happens is I will press a key on my keyboard to wake it up, the computer starts up but as if it had just been turned on but fails to start without anything coming up on the screen. After this I have to restart and choose start windows normally where everything will start up fine.

Two very annoying problems which I would appreciate any help with.
 
According to that screenshot, your memory is running at 1600 MHz. You may want to try reducing that to 1333 MHz and see if it helps with the freezing issue. You may also want to test your memory with Memtest86 to see if it is performing up to par.

Are you running the latest, most up-to-date BIOS for your MB? If not, may want to update it and see if that helps with the freezing problem.

I don't have any suggestions for the Sleep issue. How Windows 7 & 8 handle Sleep State is a big mystery to me.

Sorry, that's not a screen shot just an idea of what the bios screen looks like for reference. I probably should have mentioned that.
I'm pretty sure the motherboard is running the latest stable bios F6 update for this particular board, so I am very confused as to why I should have any problems.
And the sleep issue seems to stump everyone, I may have to keep posting till I find someone with a similar problem.
