This sounds similar to problems I have encountered on motherboards with bad layouts. (ie; the one I'm now.) It could be heat, or residual RF possibly.

K6's won't run reliably over 66MHz bus. Fun, aren't they? What stepping is it, BTW? Chances are it may be a .35 micron one, which I have found to be one of the most annoying and problematic CPUs around in high-heat environments. ;P
