random crashes - video or powersupply?

best thing is to update your MB bios has fixes for Update CPU module,NVMM, Support Intel Smithfiled 830 CPU, Shorten system resume timing for S3.
- Fixed system cannot resume from S3 by USB Keyboard/Mouse.

current 2009-02-25 version 1.3 if you gave me the right data about your MB

May be a mix of both

Hello to all - so far stable with 48 hours of operation since bios update. To answer one question, no there was no over clock. To answer another one, when I used live update from MSI, it didn't actually tell me what the revision of the bios was intended to fix, just that it was the latest version. I hope it is fixed, because that would be the cheapest possible outcome. :)

good to here you got it sortted out

MSI live update come along way since it started doing them, had screwed my K7 socket back then an had to hot flash correct bios from my bro's MB to get working again

So I'm now going to declare this solved (x my fingers!) I ran 'Warhead" for about three hours straight last night and no crashes, and I let it run memtest all night and no crashes - so we seem to be crash free. :)

Yeah, fried my Neo Plat as well (model# 7030). Back in those days, they had a habit of keeping the same model# for completely different revisions, and the live update wasn't smart enough to discriminate between older and newer motherboards. That's how I ended up with a DFI Ultra-D and the rest is history..... :)
