Sounds like something out of spec, prolly bad mobo. Try increasing the
RAM voltage by 0.1. Try pulling a RAM stick. Do you have some other
video you can try? How about a different SCSI HBA? I had some bad
experiences with Athlon systems and LSI SCSI, and so gave up trying
anything besides Intel chipsets.
