Jack, Just read some stuff on FIC AZ11 groups search. People there are having the same problems you do. One guy fixed it by installing a little heatsink fan on the Northbridge heatsink (most KT133 chipsets do have one, factory installed). I would suggest taking off the case cover, and blowing a desk fan onto the motherboard for a day or two, and see if you experience any more problems. If they go away, you know it's a heat problem- probably the chipset or ram can't handle the 37C. you mentioned. If not, then look at the PS. UI'm betting it's that the Northbridge is getting too hot.
