If this saves anyone one else headaches.

If your previously functioning system is causing problems and you are on bios 4102, go back to 4004... and all will be well again. 😉

It's probably all related to the PCH fan not spinning (cooling), so under any loads all hell breaks loose. 😉

I wonder if the PCH fan has been set to only spin up when heat gets to a particular threshold. But certainly there are enough folks who have ha d worries about the PCH fan not spinning up.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

I was getting constant lockups and had to reset the mobo everytime with the pch fan issue. With my ghetto fix and now the fan spinning again with 4004 I haven't had any freezes.

I noticed the same thing with 4102 that the PCH fan was high lighted yellow in the fan monitor. It was set to auto by defalut, I just set it to user and now is working. p.s was not getting any lockup though.
