I had been using the last beta BIOS (1021.006) for my P4P800, so I decided to try the last non-beta (1019). With 1019, 3584MB of memory is detected, up from 3327MB on 1021.006. There's a major problem usability problem with 1019 however. The screen will go black from time to time when in games while sounds can still be heard. When the game is actually seen, it seems to be running at normal performance (unlike the problem I had in http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/192081-poor-performance-4gb-memory.html ). So... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried updating the drivers for your graphics card? You can get these at either Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies or Advanced Micro Devices, AMD – Global Provider of Innovative Microprocessor, Graphics and Media Solutions, depending on which chipset your graphics card uses, nVidia or ATI.

Also, when you flashed the BIOS, did you enter the BIOS afterwards to execute the "Load Setup Defaults" or "Load Optimal Defaults" command/s at least once?
