Hi Ernie,
   Sorry it's still happening for you. It is for me also. We have
similar systems. I'm using an A7V333-X MB, Athlon-XP 2600+, 512MB. I
have determined that I cannot run this reliably right now with
SetiAtHome running. Once I stopped that (I do use it on 3 other Gentoo
boxes) my crashes decreased but did not go away. I'm crashing once a day
now.

   Just in the last few days I started having some strange video stuff
happening when I first boot the machine in the morning. It stops in a
few minutes, so I'm thinking that may be a temperature related problem
with the video card. I have stopped leaving the machine unattended in X,
meaning log out and don't use xscreensaver, and I have only had one
crash in the last 3 days.

   I'm going to dig in a bit this weekend and maybe swap video cards
around between machines and see what happens. I'm hoping my problem is
this card going bad and I'll just end up replacing that as opposed to
the MB.

   Give some thought to what hardware you might be able to swap between
machines. If you crash every few hours it should be pretty easy to find
which one, if any, is the root cause of a hardware related crash.

Good luck,
Mark
