Simon:
I have seen several threads now that posters have used a Sata PCI card and got a very stable system result. The cards are not that bad in price either $35.00 -$40.00 / I think these work great because they ahve their own bios just like a scsi adapter ! You can get around using the buggy ICH5R chip.
You have done a damn fine job of tracking down this problem though !
kudos
