I have an Asus VL/I-486SV2G rev 2.0 motherboard which I think is bad. The machine runs fine for hours with the turbo off, but when I turn it on, I start to get random errors. For example, if the machine has been powered down for a while and I turn it on, it’ll work ok for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then the machine starts to randomly lock up and get worse the longer it stays on, to the point where it won’t even boot MS-DOS.
I’ve tried with only the video card and IDE controller plugged in. I tried a different memory, video card, IDE controller, (VLB and ISA), hard drive, CPU, and new Power Supply. I don't see any caps that look bad either.
I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas that I could try. It seems like a sweet MB and I'd hate to toss it.
