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 ?

Field Note #2 @jehsin1 2010-09-27

Same problem...

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?
