I noticed that when you run a CPU intensive program like prime95 and then have an antivirus kick in for a full sys test it really kills system stability. I think the reason for this is since it is accessing files it also heats up the north bridge.

I cant explain it but this process made the system unstable and caused it to hang after about an hour. Even with toast going for 24hrs it still didnt **** up my machine like this.

using toast and Norton AV is overkill. someone else try with prime and any AV and report your results. im curious.
