Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here.

If your still looking for a motherboard around the x38 chipset, I have for sale a DFI Lanparty LT x38 T2R motherboard. Has everything that came with it included. $200+shipping.
