MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum freezes with Bios 1.20

I have bought a MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum, equipped it with 3.2GHz Prescott, 2*512MB Infenion DDR2/533 Dimms.
I have done the complete LiveUpdate, including the 1.20 Bios. Afterwards the computer froze every ten minutes, even on idle.
I spoke to the german MSI support, after trying everything they suggested, I returned the Board to my dealer an got a new one.
The new Board ran fine with Bios 1.1 and showed the same problems with Bios 1.2 - back to 1.1 and everyting is ok again.

Now to the question:
Does anyone run WinXP on a 915P N2P with Bios 1.2.
Have I got boards from a bad series? Or is Bios 1.2 generally buggy?
