I am inclined to agree here.  I noted straight away the affected user is
running a DFI Lanpart board.  I have come across all kinds of problems with
this and MSI based boards that just plain don't occur with other
manufacturers.  Try upgrading your BIOS, or, getting a decent (Asus, Abit,
Gigabyte) motherboard.

DFIs are great for overclocking, one of the most troublesome however with
AMD64.
