Thank you Dark Mantis.
I have already been in contact with GGTS and all they can say is take it up with the vendor I purchased the board from, they will replace with same rev 1.0.
The board works fine with F10 BIOS it was shipped with , but Ivy bridge functions do not work with F10.
When I updated the BIOS to F14 it killed my RAM (Auto settings default values loaded) so don't want to test it again as its costing me ££ now.
looks like I'm going to lose out here.

Edit: BIOS version.
