thanx guys,
R32 is a funny one because in the past I was getting some readings from it on continuity test, today nothing.
In circuit the only reading I am getting on 2000K is 1985 but it takes 2 seconds before the meter returns the reading
This is in circuit so I know doesn't count for much, I am waiting for some smd resistor pack so until then I won't be removing it but im suspicious of this one.
As for now my bios issues, I hit a bit if a dead end its not a very popular board so can't find the exact bios anywhere, I found a bios for a greenpc vlb board with same chipset which works, the cache option saves in bios but still doesn't actually show in speedsys etc. Its not the right bios anyway so cpu doesn't get properly detected don't expect cache to either. But this shows my if my stock bios can't retain external cache on maybye bios has some corruption.
So not much I can do further here, keep hunting for the bios, change r32 when I get the parts
Thanks for everybodys input and tips, I think somebody actually said check tantalum caps early in the post, lesson for next time
