Well I've got a 8800GTX gfx card, so I guess it'll consume more power than yours, but then again, the errors are showing up when the computer isn't that stressed, so power consumption at that point should be quite low...


Concerning ASUS drivers, there are two files on ASUS website, in the "chipset" section:

1/ 8.3.0.1013 2007/09/20 update
Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility V8.3.0.1013 for Windows 2000/XP & 64bit XP & 32/64bit Vista(WHQL).

2/ 8.3.0.1013 2007/08/02 update
Intel Chipset Inf Update Program v8.3.0.1013 for Windows 32bit 2000/2000 server/XP/MCE/2003/Vista & 64bit XP/2003/Vista(WHQL).


Whats the difference between those two files?
I didn't install the first file mentionned above from Asus website, since I rather installed the one found on Intel's website, which is newer: 8.3.1.1009
