I saw in another post that you borrowed your partner's RAM. Is it possible for you to borrow their CPU (assuming it's compatible with your mobo)? If all the RAM is usable when you're using their CPU, that would point to your CPU having an issue, as there is the potential for a failure there that's not visible to the naked eye. If the problem still happens with your partner's CPU, then at least you've eliminated one possibility, which is useful for diagnostic purposes.
I'm inclined to agree that the CPU might have been set incorrectly / have a bad pin, especially after the black screen and BIOS errors after updating.
Unfortunate, but it happens to the best of us.
