He has an extended warranty and is content to let the manufacturer deal with it. Although, I think he should get another extension to his warranty courteous of the manufacturer.
Comrade, you broke rule number one of BIOS flashing. BIOS updates are usually for known issues like voltage setting that kill RAM modules, or maybe an issue with underclocking RAM. There is an element of risk involved, AWDFLASH.EXE is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yes, I know the first thing to do when installing a new MOBO is update the BIOS. That is a desire of the manufacturer to have the MOBO on the shelf ASAP. Hell, BIOS flahing is most likely the product of a marketing circle jerk, not research and development at all. Anyway, im not saying you did the wrong thing, just that you should have a better reason for doing it. If you find a BIOS that works well with the memory sticks, you should probably stay with it.

The heatsink screws to the PCB on the ATI X800XT? Did you clean the mating surface with acetone, and apply a tiny bit of thermal paste before reseating it?
Is that Kingston value with Samsung TCCD memory? A BIOS usually favors RAM due to the chip it uses.
