Synopsis: Chris has a Dual SMP AMD system on a Tyan MB that is unstable and crashes periodically. Chris - the motherboard you reported using has been praised as being very stable at : http://www.hardwareguys.com/picks/motherboards.html (FWIW) They recommend making sure that you use high quality memory and a high quality power supply to assure stability. What are you using for RAMand PS ? Any possible problems in these areas ? As an experiment have you tried backing down the clock speed of the system about 10 or tenty percent to see if it stabilizes ? If it does then its likely you have a marginal component somewhere on the system. (But which one... ) Did you run MEMTEST86 to make sure none of your RAM has any subtle defects ? MEMTEST is a free RAM diagnostic that is incredibly thorough, and it runs standalone from a floppy. Anyone who ever plays with hardware shaould have it, see google to find a place to download it.
