Good day, fellow bad-recappers 
I got this other socket 478 based on intel 875p chipset that works quite good except for a weird issue.
The matter is that this board, after booting whatever m$ os I install, tends to shut down all of a sudden, but in the sense of pulling the power cord, not the normal OS shut down.
I managed to get how to reproduce the issue manually with an utility, RMAClock, that is not so necessary, but it happens also when updating the antivirus, a Kaspersky 2013.
The bad behaviour happen more likely when the board have 1 gb single channeled, but when I tried with 2 gb dual channel it didn't happen when updating the A.V., so I let it go as this until now.
Now happened that one of the ram stick went bad (completely no POST, when alone with that stick), so I reverted back to 1 Gb stick single channel and the behaviour happened again when A.V. updating.
Oh, by the way: when using RMAclock, I found that the thing happen just when I set duty cycle to 50%.
Temps are monitored with Open Hardware Monitor 0.6.0 beta even tho I don't think is so reliable, but I guess I can trust it when showing a sensor saying 40° C more or less...
Rest of the specs are:
CPU P4 Prescott 3 GHz HT
GPU Geforce 6200 256Mb AGP 8x (good working everywhere)
2 x HDD 250 Gb Maxtor (still good working both)
400 W good working PSU
OS W7 x32 SP1 up-to-date
I tried to: change CPU (I tried even a cheap-ass-uberslow Celeron 1.7GHz Willamette core!), change GPU, new OS installation in different hard drive, change PSU with another good working PSU (a brand new 450 W). Memtest 86+ v4.20 gets no errors both on single either on dual channel, passing all the tests.
I even tried to install in the different HDD winXP sp3, still to no avail.
Btw, I tried, when I could, the cpu, gpu, etc.etc. with the Asus P4P800-SE, and it didn't have the same behaviour, so to say that it is something mobo related.
Lastly, when I got the board I immediately flashed the bios to the last on both eeproms, but I tried to revert back to the one I found on it (don't remember what, now) with no luck. Now it's again with the latest bios version.
Thanks for reading me, I hope to find someone with a fix to this.
