The problem is I can duplicate this across multiple machines with different
MB, PSU, CPU, Graphics Cards and HD. The only thing in common is the
memory. Now I though it may have been jus one specific stick of Memory, but
I've got about 6 different sticks and still get machine freezes. Also, I
only get freezes with Myth running. Never get them without myth running.
It really is troubling.
