Hi,

Got rid of that board, I spent ~7-14 days on it, doing everything
imaginable, I have been using linux since ~1996 on my own hardware, ran
out of ideas, got a new ASUS board, no more problems.

Intel Gigabyte boards seem to be OK.
AMD ones, of this type, not so sure.

Please let me know when you end up finding!

You should run:

1. memtest first (make sure it passes, grab the system rescue cd)
2. run stress on it, etc

Justin.
