Hello, All!
I'm interested in getting a 939 socket m/b and an Athlon64 3000+. I've
always been an Asus m/b person, but thought I would at least test the waters
on views of the Asus vs. other m/b's. Any views on 'best' of these three
manufactures for socket 939?

I would never ever use anything by Gigabyte again. IMHO their products are
of inferior design and their technical support is so poor that it is hard to
believe they get away with it.

This only happened when I upgraded my motherboard and processor. At first I had WinXP64 on it and thought that might be the problem. So I took that off and installed my own Win XP Home (after a reformat) and the problem persisted.
I have uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled again to be met by the same problem. Could it be a power supply problem?
I have the BIOS settings changed and changed back, even using the BIOS's Optimized settings.

Getting back to the question at hand, it is necessary that you decide what your upgrades are going to be. If you are looking at the Nvidia Chipset with a 939 pin CPU them the highest rated motherboards on the market are the MSI and DFI brands. If you intend on staying with the Via Chipset then both the Asus and Abit motherboards are rated very high, and will still be able to use AGP video cards.
Be careful, because in the 939 pin selection of motherboards there are the new SLI boards which will require an upgrade to the new PCI-Express Video Cards which are not cheap.
I currently have the Asus A8V Deluxe Revision 2.0 with an AMD 64 3500+ Winchester CPU and I am very pleased with it. Installation was easy and I currently have it overclocked to 2419 mhz (10% Overclock) with auto settings. It is rock stable and I didn't have to upgrade my ATI Graphics Card to PCI-E as previously stated.

Try a repair install and if that does not work, do a fresh install. Backup your data first.
What you describe sounds like a software problem, not a motherboard problem.
I would also do a full virus and spyware scan.

If you're overclocking then it matters. Some boards barely overclock, some go whole hog, with the same chipset.

Ya I noticed DFI seems to be getting some good OCing reviews lately...
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=g [...] ticID=305) The DFI will run very stable at 300 x 8 using TCCD 512x2 @1T, achieving
300 x 9 with simple air-cooling credits to how well the BIOS, memory
controller and the quality of this board to work in concert with each
other. This board is simply splendid in reaching the best possible
performance.

Of SLI boards shall give an intersting insight into s939 boards by those manufacturers (as well as MSI).
I think most of them use the same board for SLI / non-SLI, so it should be relevant in that case too.

I'm running two firewalls for extra protection. It's fine to run two firewalls, but not two virus scanners and one virus scanner will read the others virus definitions and possibly delete them.
I like to be careful just incase someone cracks through one of them, at least I'm protected that little bit more.

Why doesn't any here mention the real amd64 king: msi
I don't like the cooler solution of abit nf4 s939 board (these 2 small
40 mm fans) , and I don't like the socketed power printcard on the
gigabytes.

Personally, when it comes to virii, you need belt, braces, suspenders, and super-glue!.
There are some viruses, that specifically have been targetted to penetrate particular virus scanners. Multiple firewalls is less w
