Mark,

I'm no hardware guru.. but what bios version are you using?   Have a look at
http://www.asrock.com/support/index_download.htm
and download the latest version for your MoBo (V1.3)

Also, The horrible black and white is just an option, I think you'll find.
You should be able to choose from several different colour schemes.  Try
shift f2 while youre in the general settings part of the bios setup.

Hope this helps,

Andrew Carson.
