Photos of 40 d always blown with built-in flash

I recently bought a used 40 d. Most of the time when I take pictures with the built-in flash, the picture is completely blown. I have updated the firmware and everything reset factory settings. I'm doing something wrong or if the device is broken? This happening more often in Full Auto mode, but also see it in BC. It sometimes seems to be inconsistent, as 2 shots with the same conditions, one is hidden and the other is fine.

Camera: 40 d

Lens: CANON EF 50 1.4 LENS (USM)

See attached... as you can see that it is almost all white. Others are 100% white.

ISO 400

50mm

f/1.4

Flash

AV mode

My experiences to try Auto mode it seems useless way more often than otherwise. For some reason any camera makes terrible decisions on what settings to use. Try this & please report.

Take several pictures in the following way, automatic assistance for one & then the second program, then switch back to Auto and take another picture of a different scene, then switch back to the program & turn this scene again and that several kinds of scene, both inside & outside & where flash will be necessary for some. Continue to use the two program & car at each location / scene and then compare how did better. Always starting from Auto to each scene, you will know which photo in sets was shot using Auto.
