One of their motherboards keeps locking up on me. After some back and forth 
their last reply ended the discussion thread with a:

As suggested, you should be able to do this without purchasing a license,
and it would give you a way to install firmware updates.
 

Just thought I'd mention it here, so that other DIYers might take this into 
consideration. Looking at their support page, it's listing new BIOS updates 
every month.

It would be worth searching for other reports of problems with the same 
motherboard regardless of OS.  Also look for details of the BIOS updates.
Modern hardware is pretty uniform, so the same problem often crops up
on other instances.  Non-reproducible problems tend to be with cables
and connectors.

Try stripping down to the most basic configuration and swapping the remaining 
add-ons (GPU, mass storage, cables).
