Is that seen while running a game or app or simply when at the desktop? If drivers go on bad or are the wrong version(or need newer ones that works like the latest video and sound cards out) being installed for either video or sound that can see a number of issues especially freezeups while gaming.
New Motherboard, did you reinstall windows or did it just boot with the new board. If so have you uninstalled the old boards drivers and installed the new boards drivers?

Check the RAM!
Never forget to check the RAM, a lot of the time, if the RAM is faulty, the computer will start to not work properly. You could look around forever and not figure out the problem.
When there is a problem with the RAM, the problems would never point at the RAM, but it could be the RAM that is causing the problem.

What you need to do is re-format your hard drive this is because you have installed a new motherboard and this particular chipset is not recognised by your version of windows. This is causing crashes and restarts for no particular reason once you have re-installed windows all should run perfectly.
When the first board in the new build quit after only 3 days the drive wasn't reformatted but a simply reinstall of Windows deleted the previous installation. If you only recently put a new build togather that's all you should have to do without wiping the drive clean unnecessarily. For long term accumiliation and clutter then you would back things up to another drive or to removable media.
The problem there points more at driver issues since you never cleaned the old driver off for a different make and model board? The board swapped here was with an identical replacement while still needing to see XP reinstalled. For Vista that simply needed some MS attention to that reacivated with only the one hardware change. If the same memory was used on the new board you probably won't find any errors if it was properly handled when reinstalling it.

I think there is a problem in your exhaust fan of you CPU.and please find a sollution for it as soon as possible.
Once you get the drive cleaned up and see a fresh copy of Windows go with all new drivers installed you should immediately notice a big improvement overall. If you game alot onboard audio while newer chips have seen improvements is often disabled for choosing a good expansion type card for the gain seen there.
Adding to that is having a good set of speakers to provide even more. The most popular brand for sound cards Creative's Sound Blaster does have one drawback however being a large draw on power seen when gaming. But you generally hear far better sound with their models or Diamond especially if your board uses Realtek for the onboard.

Sounds like the audio chip on the board could be a problem is that is going. One reason I always go expansion is to save the onboard for times when an addon card quits on you. But your description there sounds like multiple problems are being seen instead of just one thing you can point your finger at. Additional cooling is one thing that did seem to help.
When seeing high temps when upgrading an old case here going from a Socket A to a 939 model the boards was seeing 48C idle more then the 46C cpu temp with a Zalman 9500 sitting on the cpu there. A quick look for a new case with far more air flow saw the board temps fall to 31C and 33C for the cpu.
Besides a possible hardware failure in progress the one thing to try now is getting sdme better air flow going to keep temps down since something is apparently overheating there. Throwing on a vpu cooler and adding a new case fan or larger one could be the big help you need there.
