Hi Anthony,
Looking at MtothaJ post above, do you actually need to use the ME features? I assume both 1TB drives are now visible and available in Wndows?
Unfortunately there is no way to update the boot block date, (except for replacing the motherboard or base unit to a more recent manufactured date). I understand this is effectively a board level revision update so there could also be physical differences between the pre and post 2013 block dates (as well as firmware).
If you're still having stability issues then I would be tempted to re-install all the hardware drivers in case anything has been corrupted. If you plan on giving it a go then please make sure the drivers are installed in the correct order, i.e. firmware, chipset then drivers. Remove any attached USB devices before you begin.
