Does A8N-sli firewall cause bluescreens/reboots for anyone else?

My A8N sli (non-deluxe) had some stability issues, when browsing the inet, sometimes when starting some network game, etc. I originally thought it was becase of too high overclock or a bad PSU. Some crashes occured even when i reverted to stock frequencies though. Anyway, at one point I had to run a small bit-torent client (WoW's update downloader actually) and it would 100% bluescreen just a couple of seconds after it connected. I turned off the nv firewall, and I've not had a single crash since then.

So, it must've been the firewall that was causing all my troubles.

I'm wondering, is this issue specific to my board only, or are other users experiencing it too?

If you're having any unexplained stability problems, please try disabling the firewall for a while, and post here if that helps :)

Yeah it does, check the last few pages of the Official A8N-SLI thread on the first page of the Motherboard forum.
