I built an MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition and an Athlon XP1600+ 3 weeks ago for my father-in-law. I had not a single problem and the board is red (useless but pretty cool). Since you need a board that support SDRAM I think it's a good choice, you can also go for the K7T Torbo2, I think it is...
It is a virus, I just cleared it from a computer, it's W32.Magistr or a variant, get a good anti-virus software or update the one you have.
Hope that helps.
How do you believe its reliable? No SOcket-thermistor is reliable enough for anything more thna a "fire alarm" and this fire alarm level is different for every single setup out there... there's not enough continuity or consistency ins ocket-thermistor readings.
I where talking of the readings...
Try to find a reset CMOS jumper on your board before anything else. If you try to remove the BIOS chip use extreme caution! Never tried this myself to reset the CMOS.
Have you installed the AMD Agp patch? If not, it could cause lockups while in 3D Apps. Maybe it is not that because the sound tends to loop when it happens but you may give it a try.
Hope that helps!
