It is a little suspicious that you only started having problems after your upgrade but it could be coincidence or it could be something about the new software tickling the hardware differently than the old.

That's what we're leaning toward as well.  We're planning on doing a
BIOS upgrade (betadrive is running v2.00 and alphadrive is v1.00),
then a memtest86+ run, then check firmware on the SATA controllers.

If none of the above helps, we're thinking of swapping the CPUs
between the two systems to see if the problems stay with the box or
follow the CPU.

Thanks for the reply.
