It almost seems like two different problems, or like perhaps
a new driver was installed for the sound card, somewhere through
the period covered by the dumps.

You can try removing the sound card, and using the onboard sound
if available. You should be able to go to the support.asus.com
site, and find a driver for onboard sound for the P4P800 SE.

I'd try a test with Prime95, and see how long it will run error
free. I get bored after about four hours of that, so that is
probably enough error free testing, if you want to stop. If
you have a temperature measurement program like Speedfan, you can
watch the temperature while the test is running.

Sometimes, memory develops faulta, as time passes. I've had a
couple pieces of generic RAM bought on sale at local stores,
that lasted a little over a year. And then had a stuck fault
that memtest86+ could find. The replacement RAM from Crucial
has been fine to date.

You could also get a copy of CPUZ from www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
and check that the clocks used and memory timing values, make
sense for the hardware. That would be a basic check that
something was not fouled up, along the way, in the BIOS.
And you don't want to "clear" the BIOS, without understanding
what the hardware is doing at this moment - studying the system
as it now stands, may help you understand the root cause of the
problems.
