It shouldn't hurt anything to flash the BIOS sequentially, but that
should NOT be necessary if the hardware's OK and the BIN file is the
correct one for the BIOS.
In other words, it won't hurt to try, but it almost certainly will not
solve your problem.

EZ-flash worked and got the system stable enough to install the os but
it still freezes up at random and will not do a warm boot from windows
or the reset button. And when I do a cold boot after a freeze I get
the "Overclocking failed" AMI error. It doesnt mater if I
reset to bios default or not, still a minute later it is frozen again

I have ran memtest86 for 7 passes before I did the flash and got no
errors but now that XP is on it (and freezing as it is) memtest86
freezes after about three minutes

I just got back from the shop I got the mem from. I explained the
problem to my friend that works there, he had a similar problem that
turned out to be bad memory so he gave me another stick with the same
specs but a different make. But as I have been typing this memtest86
has frozen on its first pass about the same place it did with the old
stick.
