usually when one of our WMS games reboot themselves we start with the power supply as well.  check your CPU temp since you've eliminated the easy parts.  sometime the fan on the CPU box get clogged or seizes up so the CPU overheats and restarts itself.  sometimes a fan replacement will take care of the issue and sometimes the CPU has been damaged by the long exposure to high temps and must be replaced.  g/l  :137-

to be honest, i replaced the board as well a while back, the fan is working well, but i did use back the same game cards, could those go corrupt, can you update the cards for them as well

yeah i've seen the CF cards go bad.  i've no idea how to back them up because i cant do that at my casino but i think there has been some people who have figured out how to copy them.  you might was to try eBay for a replacement; i've seen WMS flash cards there before. 
if you have the same software in another game you could swap the CF cards one at a time and see if the problem follows.  when i have a game that is giving me intermittent issues i can't figure out i usually start swapping parts with another game to isolate the problematic component.  even though you've already swapped out the likely culprits it might be worth going through them again.  g/l :89-

Is this on a converted 550 or a bb1 cabinet?
