I forgot to mention that the MB at issue is the Tyan S2850 single opteron MB. This particular server had its MB replaced a week or two ago for the same sort of issue on bge1 that got progressively worse and I eventually turned it off in the BIOS. Then a while later it started seeming to freeze up with this same issue as listed below and I replaced the MB, which is starting to show the same issue. I have a few other servers with the same MB and they have never had any issues.
