Adaptec 3405 problems

On both Release and Stable 7.0 The adatec card will start spitting out 
timeout errors then will eventually give a message on the console that 
it can no longer communicate the the card and the machine has to be 
rebooted. I upgraded the bios to build 15728 but still am having issues. 
This happens about once a day. I disabled automatic failover today but 
its too soon to know if it will help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
