Don't count on the BIOS being latest.  Check Tyan's web site.

If you're getting errors at random places, I'd blame hardware.  I  
have one K8SR based system which has gone through 3 mobos, new CPU's,  
new RAM, and still fails regularly.  The whole system is being  
replaced this time with a new one built from scratch.
