So > it seems unlikely that it is tied to a chipset revision. I have had three boards with nforce2 replaced (all of them Soltek SL75FRN2-L) and all three did the same. However it seemed the frequency of the crashes varies with actual piece of board. The crashes aren't in software - bare 'cat /dev/hda > /dev/null' is often to lock up the machine to the point that poweroff fails.
