I'll agree with previous comments about cooling, video card issues,
and adequate power supplies. But you may also want to consider the
quality of the power feeding into your machine. I had random halts,
shutdowns and even catastrophic failuers of Tyan dual AMD boards until
I put the systems on a good line conditioner. I'm convinced that
the problems all centered around under voltages from the wall, and
now that I've got true conditioned power, the systems run perfectly.
