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?
Definitely xx. :-). It's branded PXI.
I can pull it on this, but somehow I'm not hopeful. It would at least start a post, surely, if it was..*all* memory? Including cache? I remember P133's had external cache, sometimes on COAST modules, sometimes soldered directly to the board.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.
an intermittent cache fault.
