Just out of curiousity, what video card are you using with your setup?
Also, did you happen to run 3dmark2001?

FYI, test #15 (advanced pixel shader?, where it rebooted on me) is not
performed on older video cards like the geforce2 gts. So if I had used
one of my GF2's instead of a GF3, I wouldn't have gotten a reboot...

I know this is a triviality, as memtest can be used as a signal for the
problem, but ... I may bite the bullet and just swap out the $5 or so
worth of caps on this board. I will add a 1000uF where there is one
missing by the slot1 (CE3), maybe the same for the cap missing next to the
DIMM slots (CE27), and I will also increase the 1000uF cap to 1500uF where
the board indicates a larger drawn (CE12). Will post back later if/when I
do this, and results...

I'll wager a Slot-T against a P2B v1.10 it won't make a difference ;-)

we have 8mm caps you can use go to: www.computekinc.us you'll find
the impossible to find caps for mobos there. we use 10v in the 6.3v
spots on most boards.

Hi,

just to drop in a few lines: I have the same problem - and of course
I'am
interested if fiddeling around with capacitors will solve it.

Board: Asus P2B (No further letters)
Rev.: 1.10
Cpu: PIII-800 (Copper, 100Mhz FSB, 1,65 V)
OS: Linux with Kernel 2.2.14 (Uptime 2 Years now)
VReg: HIP6019BCB
Mem: Just upgraded from 2*64K - 2*128K 100Mhz SRAM
Cards: ELSA Winner 1000 VGA, SCSI, ISDN, Network, 2nd Printer

(Because of the memory upgrade, I run in the memtest prob.)

What type of processor are you using? Is it a true slot1 processor, or a
socket 370 in a slotket? What slotket?

I was having the memtest test #6 problem with a coppermine celeron 900/100
and 600/66 running 256MB ram, both in a 370SPC v1.0 slocket. I managed to
pick up an Asus S370-DL rev 1.02 slotket, and it ran a coppermine celeron
1100/100 with 512MB on the P2B rev 1.10, passing memtest looping for hours
(with fastest CL2 memory timings).

So, there does appear to be a marginality created by the quality of
slotket used. I ended up dumping the board for $25, and moved on
already...

Thats a real PIII without slotket/riser/adapter. I'am not able to
extract
the processor right now (it's a production system), but boot.msg
states:
4CPU: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 06
