Thanks for the relpies everyone!

I think I have it boiled down to a possible clock speed setting jumper on the mobo or a memory problem.I have tried both the SM51's separately(I have also read about probs with dual cpu's) and same result.I am only using the GENERIC kernel at this point so no special settings.

Thanks again for the help.
