I won't re-hash my posts from the "Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and i5 3570k" thread you posted in earlier, but I'm curious as to the method you used to flash, and also how you flashed to an earlier revision? One thread that I've linked to in the past has helped others w/ the P8-series boards and corrupted UEFIs...

the bios came with 0606. for the other versions i downloaded off of asus website. onto a thumb drive and used the flash feature in the bios. i also want to describe what happens after its flashed

when it says "flash successful or w/e click enter to restart computer" i click enter and the computer instantly turns off. then starts back up again. but with no display and my keyboard lights off etc. then cuts off again. then repeats this 2-3 times then it posts the asus logo and continues on its normal buisness. i wonder if thats normal

- i will read your link in the mean time

Did you ever try using the BIOS Flashback button on the rear I/O?

UPDATE 12/28/12

got the new MOBO today its a z77 v pro and everything works perfectly. i am able to overclock everything. the bios has all the normal settings it should and all 8 gigs of my ram register. everything seems fine! i just started it up so i might comment back in here if i have any problems. should i reinstall any of the drivers? thanks
