ASRock F-Stream Tuning Utility is causing Win 8.1 Pro x64 to crash

[DevilishBooster]

Ok, so I've been having this issue for several months now. I built my system last November, and everything had been working great. I hadn't opened FTU for a couple months when I decided in March that I wanted to check/tweak something. I clicked on FTU and it displayed the loading screen, but then my computer went to BSOD and rebooted itself. I thought it might have been a fluke, so I tried it again but is went to BSOD again and rebooted. I uninstalled FTU, re-downloaded and installed it, and it did the same thing: BSOD and reboot.

I downloaded the ASRock APP Shop after a second re-install of FTU and checked for updates. It listed an update for FTU (0.1.73.59), so I told it to update, rebooted my computer, and tried to start FTU. Result: BSOD and an auto reboot. I opened APP Shop again and it said that the same update for FTU was available, even though I had just downloaded and installed it, so either it failed to actually install or something else is going on.

No matter what I do, the same update (0.10.73.59) for FTU is sitting in the BIOS & Drivers section and whenever I try to start FTU I get a BSOD and an auto reboot. I'm getting pretty frustrated at this point, so I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks

sounds like it's applying some setting on load/install causing the crash, try to uninstall and install the latest version manual download from asrock.com
