Problems with Big Bang Fuzion

Question

I have been having a world of problems with this motherboard. It a long story but I will start with what is going on now.
The machine has some of the strangest behavior.
10-30 minute boots.
This happens every time I boot the machine after the first re-boot after installation of the operating system.
there is one thing that will help, that is to boot into the recovery console and execute
bootsect /nt60 all
This only works once and then after the next reboot, back to 10-30 minute wait. The machine will sit that log at the windows loading screen, as the windows logo glows in and out.

The next problem is periodically the mouse will become choppy, and the sounds cut out. This also happens when drivers are being installed. Everything freezes, the keyboard num lock light stops responding, the mouse stops responding. Then after a few moments everything resumes back to normal. This happens no matter what driver installs. NIC, chipset, Video, Sound, Raid, etc.
Also the machines performance is just not that what my hardware should be. On the FFXIVBenchmark, my machine scored a 1000, when it has scored a 3000 before.
So those are the issues that are happening now. Now I would like to describe the history of the machine.
I have been troubleshooting this machine for well over 5 months, so if I lack details, it is due to exhaustion.
First I installed windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit back on 2/22/2010. I was getting BSODs during install. I ran Memtest 86+ and the RAM would fail I had the RAM replaced, with the same kind and re-installed. The problems were gone for a while. I enjoyed Half Life 2 at 120 FPS, and started playijng GTAIV at full specs and would get 30-40 FPS.
Then I wanted to take advantage of final 1GB of RAM and installed 64-bit. Here is where the problems started (I have installed 32-bit recently and the same problems exist) First the machine was unbearably slow at install. The mouse was choppy, and the install never made it past expanding Windows Files after 12 hours.
I installed an additional hard drive, and installed the boot partition there, and the system partition on the RAID0. Things would work for a bout a month and then the machine would BSOD more and more often. Pretty soon the BSOD's were durring boot. I ran another MEMTEST and the new memory failed again. OCZ tech agent said that I needed to use the Low Voltage version. OCE replaced my RAM with the new LOW Voltage ram.
Things did not get any better. BSODs continued to happen. So I installed WHOCRASHED and within 24 hours, 12 BSOD, 9 of them NTOSKERNL is to blame.

One thing to note, my copy of Windows 7 is from an MSDN subscription. I re-downloaded the disc and verified that the ISO was the correct SHA1 checksum from the MSDN store. Burned the ISO, verified the burn. The exact same disc was used to upgrade my wife's machine from VISTA to windows 7 and there has been no problems.
Here is the troubleshooting done then.

durring the time I was troubleshooting with MSI, the motherboard would no longer POST. the CPU PHASE indicator would say "F"
After the RMA of the motherboard, the problems I am having now exist. and some of the same from before.
One such problem, when only downloading the ATI video card drivers I get an error "The data passed was too small"
Some of the things I have done are replacing the DVD drive with a known good one. Using an entirely different hard drive. Swapping memory DIMMS. Replacing the Sata cables.
I am so tired of this machine that its hard to remember what I have and have not done. I know that I have built machines before and never had so much struggle as I have had with this one.
The memory still passes on Memtest. The hard drives pass Western Digitals testing software. I don't know what else there is to do.
