I tried doing a few searches, but it yielded "nothing" - So it's time for my first post 

I updated my master bios from 86.94.26.00.70 (I suspect the 94 is a typo on my part - It's a C/P from my backup rom) to the current one on the mainpage.
After the update was done, the computer seemed a bit sluggish but I assumed it was due to the update procedure.
I did a quick reboot, I let it open the few startup programs I have and since it seemed fine again I shut it down to switch to the Slave bios for the first time.

As I recall it (omg, this memory.. it happened less than 15min ago ) it showed the initial bootup splash screen, but after a few moments it produced the White Checkboard.
The computer rebooted itself and seems to have fixed the "problem" without me doing anything.
I didn't run any custom profiles or OC on the Master Bios, and since I hadn't used the Slave bios prior to now, I haven't messed with those settings either.
I did read most of the comments in the Bios update thread which is where I got the word white checkboard from. But it seems that those who encountered it had been tinkering with OC's, so I don't get it.

If anyone has any ideas as to what/why it happened, I'll be glad to hear from you :)
Also; I haven't updated my Slave Bios yet and it shows up as using 86.04.26.01.70 (as I suspected).

If I missed any info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the forum. Update your slave BIOS would be my suggestion.
