Hi! I had this kind of problem on an Asus P4P800 with an Intel P4 3.2GHz as long as I had "Hyperthreading" enabled. As your board also is an multi-CPU / SMP -board it may have to deal with this. In my case several BIOS-updates were done, until I now found an BIOS-version which does not have an issue. I narrowed this down to be a DMA-Transfer issue. As soon as there many DMA-transfers going on on the PCI-bus the board locked up.
