Mine is mostly stable these days, but every 3rd week or so I'll find it locked up, and the top of the chassis is almost burning to the touch. In those cases I'll power the unit off and leave it be for about 30 min or so and then power...

Barebones A10, added my own SSD. I'm running both WMC and XBMC... have not looked at any memory crash dumps. Eventlogs only show that the system was not shutdown cleanly.

Mine is not so reliable. If I had to do it over, I'd probably not do it. I'd say about 2 times per week It's crashed and still running super super HOT by the time I get home. I have to reboot it and I tend to let it cool down for 20...

did the auto reboots/power offs get fixed with an exchange? That describes exactly the kind of issue that gives me so much hesitation on these seemingly too-good-to-be- true prebuilt machines from small foreign companies. What do you...

SVP for sticking @ 60Hz in TVs/Movies would require quad core to work well. I would't care if the auto refresh changing properly changed refresh rates in XBMC and/or MPC-HC.... but they don't and require context menus to be propped up...
