We have a similiar problem here: Asus SP3G-II (Neptune II chipset), 810, Quantum Fireball, but I'm not sure it is related to the 810 in any way.

It hangs sometimes on reboots, after clearing the screen. However, when it does, it corrupts the BIOS nvram, so I have to re-enter all BIOS settings :-(

Currently, I always halt the machine and do a reset; this never caused the problem to occur.

Can you give me a pointer where to find an explanation of the broken reset?
