Sorry if this has been raised before but I have never had an ASUS
board
before.

Anyway, I have a A8N SLI SE with a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diago
Core, 1GB
of Hynix PC3200 memory, Leadtek Nvidia 6800GS 256mb, two ide 160mb
hard
drives (samsung) and two DVD writers.This is housed in a Jeantech
Apollo
case with a Jeantech 400W power supply.

My problem is I can install windows xp (home or professional) but
when I
laod the drivers for the motherboard and video I get intermittent
problems
with the computer shutting itself down, sometimes
rebooting/sometimes
complete shutdown. I proble is that I can start the computer get to
the iser
logon screen, select the user, the desktop starts and as soon as I
click or
move the mouse the computer reboots. This happens two or three times
in a
row and then the computer will start properly and stay on for a
couple of
days.

Also when I load Paintshop pro 10 the problem seems worse.

I don't appear to get any problems when I use SUSE 10 64 bit.


Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried a long run (12 hours overnight) with prime95 torture
test ?
Assuming memtest doesn't throw up any errors.
