I have run memtest86+ for days at a time on both systems with no errors at all. broken hardware i guess, i am not surprised about the abit board, ive had nothing but trouble with abit motherboards and do not use them any more, but the supermicro is a xeon server board and i was using kingston ram, i wouldnt expect that to have issues. latest bios on both.
