A7V600 lock ups

Hi !

I replaced my MB with an A7V600 a few months ago. After that the
machine locked up at regularly. I traced it down to low voltage on the
3.3V line. The problem was actually easily fixed by unplugging the
main power connector to the board, giving it a quick clean and
reconnecting it.
Unfortunately this seems to be only a work-around. The problem
re-appeared four weeks later. And although unplugging/replugging the
power connector to the board helped again, it is not a very satisfying
solution.
As the machine worked fine before I replaced the board, I tend to
think that the PSU/connector is not actually the problem (although I
might be wrong).
As the problem only appears at very irregular intervals (one to
several weeks), it is very hard to test and trace down though.
Has anybody heard of a similar problem? Any ideas on how to check
which component could be at fault?

TIA
Stefan

That should be "gauge". Now, what did I do with that spell checker...
