Hi,

> The semiconductors with the most "aging problems" I have ever seen is memory - 
any kind of memory, be it roms, flash, D-Ram, S-Ram etc. If POST doesnt work, check 
the BIOS rom.

In my experience, CONTACTS are often the problem. And if
it is a board from China, you must check elco's as well,
better replace them all. Is it Intel or Asus or xx?

On my old bord, I could disable the caches with jumpers, that may
give you a possibility to locate the problems, turn all cache off.


Regards,

Pieter
