Ken,
Try a different video card. My Dual Athlon system (A7M266-D)
works like a charm with my GeForce 2 MX-400 but if I swap it with my
GeForce 3 Ti500 the system will completely shutdown at some point
(guaranteed). This happens with the system idle or while under a load.

seems to happen regardless of temperature. In fact, it most frequenly
happens under no load. After doing some compiling, the current
temperatures read CPU0: 131F/55C, CPU1: 136F/58C, MB: 122F/50C. At idle,
they're normally in the 114/45, 120/48, 110/43 range respectively.
Currenly at about 70 minutes of uptime with the longest being about 36
hours.

I'll have to try letting it cool the next time it happens to see if that
is indeed the cause.

PSU is an Antec PP-412X 400 watt.
