I am have issues keep crash " please hold button for restart or power off " with no errors shows, nothing find in logs. whenever I am doing on FCP render long loading *crash* and other games long loading *crash* and installing if more than 700mb *crash* and if download torrent more than 2.0mbps for like 5 min *crash* If i don't touch of them, it's fine running Avi movie, Hulu and youtube no problem, I am think its come from hardware issues or else ? I still have no idea whats cause. I hope someone is have same issues and solve this. If you need to know Kext what I have it on my list, or whatever you need. I will post it to here.

I have the same mobo as you. The only way I've been stable is by using only 2 1GB sticks of RAM.

What method did you use to install the OS? I used leohazard's latest DVD build, but is there a better way?
