Cari, thanks for this, The more i got to looking at it the more i
decided that disabling DEP was worth a shot. You know what, my
workstation has now been up and active for the last 6 hours without a
single lockup while doing some serious CPU intensive tasks.

I talked with the mobo manufacturer as well, and they will be
eventually coming out with a BIOS update that is supposed to address
some of the issues with sp2 and this board. I couldn't get them to go
into specifics but it does seem they are aware of issues.

Thanks
