Caps look ok, Biostar still features this board on their home page, so
I'm pretty sure production probs have been worked out. Of course, they
might just have one humungus unsold inventory. I discovered something else
in my troubleshooting; The freeze happens without fail when I am
transfering a lot of large files (movies or mp3's). Which points me at the
chipset for sure. I have an aftermarket Thermatake fan on it, the old one
was way too noisy.
