  Well, get a ASUS or Tyan motherboard.  ASUS has a nice one based on the
NVIDIA chipset (nForce2?).  Try to find something that can use ECC memory.
Your RAM could be bad, and your motherboard is fine, but since you aren't
using ECC, you wouldn't know.

  Riser cards are quite a problem too.  I would try to get as much stuff
on-board as possible.  Riser card problems cause all sorts of random
problems like corrupted video, and page faults.
