For example: Replying to my old message. Yes the mobo crashed like crazy and was very unstable. I returned it back to the store and got a replacement, exactly the same thing. Which, unlike the previous one, works flawlessly so far - at least I can't reproduce any crashes anymore. More -- CPU temperature, which - according to the lm_sensors values, was jumping somewhere between 40C and 65C, is now at 24C at idle and 35C under high load. CPU headsink is MUCH cooler on this mobo, while the fan is working exactly the same. And no more themp jumps as before. So it turns out I just had a bad (defected) mobo, nothing to do with kernel.... Oh well. (But BIOS on this mobo is a bit crappy still. Not fatal but not nice either.) /mjt
