With a 45nm CPU, v.16 or later is best for the Pro. If it were mine, v.17 would be it. You are quite correct though, newer isn't always better. I run a beta from two versions ago on my -E. (v.16beta01)

Unfortunately you've discovered the one thing this board (and all abit boards AFAIK) cannot do. They all set the lowest selectable Vcore as your chip's VID. I guess they figure their market is more for overclockers, who mostly don't know the meaning of low Vcore.

TBH, this sounds like a PSU issue. I've seen it before but with Antecs that are about to bite it and/or were incompatible with the board's circuitry. This isn't to say it's necessarily your problem, it's just where I've seen that symptom pop up in the past.
