Steve, It seem like this is an AMD related problem. I had the same problem and
what I did was rise the CPU voltage by 0.1 volts. That made the sisyem more
stable and have no problems now.
This can be done if the user has the motherboard's manual and has some skill
working with jumpers (not so difficult some time ago).

Regards, Rafael
