I have a Tyan dual Opteron motherboard that I can make work, but it will 
not reboot correctly requiring a clearing of the CMOS then re-setup of 
CMOS and sometimes it even locks up while running. Haven't found the 
cause yet. But your discussion makes me believe I should take a second 
look at the memory, maybe even try a different version memory device set.
