Charles, <Problems with noise from higher speed CPU or power/decoupling issues are more likely to be problems than anything else. Don't mean to say that is what is at play here but given the failure is at higher MHz, it does sound like a good possibility.

Board or BIOS or power supply upgrades typically solve these problems.>

Charles, the problem is that the problem has surfaced
at all, not those "power/decoupling issues" or whatever.
The problem is that the involved companies (AMD and GTW)
apparently failed to establish proper procedures to
evaluate margins of the design.

Or designs?

BTW, your "board upgrade" sounds funny.
I would say "management upgrade" is in order :)
Somebody like "VP of systems engineering" needs
his butt escorted from company premises, and
a while ago, given continuing "problems"
with suporting infrastructure <ggg>.

As Burt Masnik noted once on SI:
"Atiq Raza (formerly of AMD) had it right when he
said the deoderant of profits covers the smell
of problems."
