We have been happy with the Giga-byte K8N51GMF-9 and the ASUS A8N-VM CSM. A few things:
-Have you run Memtest86 to verify that you don't have bad RAM? Let it run overnight for a few passes to verify absolute stability
Yes - no obvious problem on either. I ran a repeated mozilla build on the K8NGM2-FID, copying large files across the network, and it worked fine for days. It then oopsed when it wasn't doing anything, twice!
-Have you run Prime95 to verify your CPU isn't bad or overheating?
No - good idea.
Again, let it run overnight to verify your CPU is being cooled proper, also keep the case closed. -Have you made certain there's not an issue with the Network switch?
Pretty sure. It failed across a managed switch and an unmanaged one. Other e1000/e100 computers work fine with both switches.
The Asus A8V-E SE is extremely easy to make fail. There is even data corruption with an e100 card.
