Default Epox 8rd3a+ problems..

i need some help please!!!
i have just recently bought this board and recieved it today.
the problems im having are ranging from stablity and lockups all over the place..
firstly the display on the screen is VERY blocky and liney all over ever screen. i dont think its my graphics card as i have just taken it from another board which was fine, but since its been in this one, its just looked very very very bad.
secondly, overclocking.. this is a C1 stepping board as i have checked with CPU-Z program.. oh and it wont do it very well at all
thirdly, running this board at 200 fsb with a multiplier higher than 9 gives me very bad lock ups and problems.. basically, it just dont want to know..

please can someone offer some advice about this please!?!?!?! i have updated the bios and the same problems are apparent. the temps are still through the roof and stablity isnt there at all.
i was told this board was good, can someone please help me out here!!? i have been having to many problems with boards recently and i dont want any more! please help!!
