I am having no problems whatsoever with my 680i, post P23. Have you updated the chipset/video card drivers on your computer after your complete re-install. Have you updated windows to SP2. Are your 12v rails stable? Have you tested your CPU and Ram for stability?

i have no problems with stability tests

i have completed prime 95 for a total 0f 24 hrs

i have comepleted 3dmark 06 with a score of 11816 with no problem

but every now and then i get "not responding" from random programs

i've built about 10 pcs and never had as much trouble with this as others

Not having any problems with my 680i either after flashing it. I have noticed however that the bios flash doesn't always take. I tried once via floppy and it said the bios was changed but it didn't clear the cmos and I was still having sata problems. Re flashed it with ntune and made sure all 3 of the boxes in the bios flash were checked and it seems to work fine now.

Oh, and I thought it was something serious. Hey, your running Windows.

uninstall network access manager. it may not be targeted to lockups specifically but i have removed it and have noticed no more reboots

Are you experiencing these issues at stock speeds?

I'd try that first.
