[mythtv-users] Re: .16 and High Density Memory Crashes?

[Yan-Fa Li]

My condolences.  I had a similar problem with a board that I'd had for a 
few years, but only used lightly.  In the end, it proved to be bad 
capacitors on the board.  I'm waiting to get parts to prove it once and 
for all, they are actually stuck at Fedex.

Can you take a flash light and look at the Mobo you suspect has 
problems.  The only thing I can think of that you haven't replaced is 
your PSU.
