Re: ASUS P4P800 MB FC3 Crashing

Does any one know the basic cause of the problem or whether there is any reason to think that FC4 onward will be any more stable on this MB? Or have we found a M$ only MB? (A WinMB). I have one running W2K without problems.

So I suspect the basic ability to fetch instructions from memory and execute them is working fine. Otherwise nothing will run. So it would seem to me to be a subtle issue between a driver and the hardware that is bringing the system down. So unless one of the drivers has changed I don't see why this MB would become reliable.

We have around 30 machines in a lab and maybe a server that runs P4P800 and FC3 and they all work fine. We use the sk98lin module for the network card. Only difference with you is that we run vanilla kernels. There were issues with the NVIDIA driver but later releases have solved these. Maybe you could check your hardware (memtest86, different power supply, run it with bare minimum hardware etc)?
