I have found that the newer BIOS versions combined with the quad-core Nehalem processors in Linux is not a very stable configuration. I run a pre BIOS 44 version for this reason. My EVGA x58 Linux systems have been running stable for a couple years now with the older BIOS currently with kernel 2.6.37.

Your suggestions were right all along klaus...

It does seem to be a conflict somewhere between the newer Linux kernels, & modern/updated BIOS versions.
