Starting near the CPU socket and going towards the edge of the motherboard, 1, 2, 3, 4, WHICH slots do you have the memory installed in? 4 being the slot closest to the edge of the motherboard.

What motherboard BIOS version is currently installed?

What is the EXACT model of the memory kit you are using?

What CPU and CPU cooler model are you using?

You might want to go to the mobo site and get the proper bios.
While your there update the chipset driver if needed.

I’m a bit scared about bricking it do I download the latest version of the bios?

Read the manual about how to update the bios.

Did you do a fresh Windows install or transfer an old disk from other PC ?

Thanks guys I sorted it out, turns out app center was causing the crash

The product page for that board doesn't even SHOW an F4 BIOS version, so something is goofy there, but regardless, I'd update to the latest version which is F7a, before doing anything else.

Regarding app center, that's not surprising. I basically always, as a matter of course, recommend avoiding any of the motherboard manufacturer optional utilities. They almost always cause problems of some kind and there are generally just about always other 3rd party utilities that can provide the same capabilities that don't cause problems like HWinfo, CPU-Z, and others. For drivers, you should always update those manually by going to the product page for your motherboard and finding them there for download. Chipset, audio, network adapters and other onboard hardware drivers are best obtained in this way rather than using the Microsoft supplied generic drivers.
