I recently put together a dual Athlon system, and initially I couldn't
even get
it to run for more than 30 minutes with a panic. The problem turned out
to a lack
of power. I replaced the 300W power supply I had with a 400W and now the
machine
runs beautifully. If you are testing a dual Athlon configuration, I
recommend
checking that.
