Thanks folks...
Thanks! I forwarded that to ADK Support for their thoughts, and they suggest giving it a try: "...it does update the ACPI which overclocking can have issues with". Not sure how relevant that is, since I see this symptom in o/c and stock timing... still...
BIOS and all drivers have been checked and re-checked for latest versions. I'll check out the P6T page, though at first glance it looks like a slightly different problem. I'll also check out Blackviper - maybe there's some discussion there on why 'superior' Win7's memory footprint is 5-6 times bigger than XP. Thanks!!
This is a mobo selected by ADK and optimized by them for overclocked DAW operation. The configuration is standard for them, so I can't speak directly to how much time they've spent characterizing the board.
That said, while troubleshooting this problem over the last month, ADK Tech Support and I have tried a number of timing and voltage settings and none has had any verifiable effect on the lockup symptom - it has occurred with both stock and o/c settings.
As shipped, the BIOS was apparently flaky for o/c, but an upgrade to the latest BIOS appears to have resolved that issue. That change had no effect on the lockup symptom, which occurred both before and after the BIOS update with both o/c and stock timings.
