Praedor- you're probably right, seeing as how no problems with 8.2. Then again, Jim C has a point: "If using these kernels is more compute-intensive then wouldn't that logically jack up the heat?"
When I first got this MSI Ultra 2 board, I did some reading on a few hardware forums, and the consensus was that although MSI shipped the board without a chipset heatsink fan (only the heatsink), and felt this was adequate, people were finding it wasn't. They reported weird inexplicable problems, that went away when they replaced it with either a heatsink/fan combo, or the Zalman chipset heatsink, with the higher more massive cooling fins, and no fan. I've touched the MSI heatsink, and it is definitely too warm, as lmsensors reports (confirmed by the bios, and windows motherboard monitor). I plan to upgrade that heatsink myself. You might remove the side of your case, and point a desktop fan directly onto the Northbridge area, and see if the problems go away. If so, you know that's at least part of the problem. BTW, here's my entries for the via chipset on the MSI Ultra 2- should work on your Ultra (isn't it the same basic board and chipset?) for lmsensors, and Gkrellm. These entries also work on the Abit KX7-333 (same chipset as the Ultra 2).
