Could be burn marks, if the board was powered with the CPU in a wrong orientation. But more likely the corrosion already reached the socket - you should remove the top piece (the one that slides when you move the lever) and check underneath. Oh I didn't even think of the second option. Really "pick …

With behaviour like that, I'd run memtest first on that setup and check both motherboard and power supply for bulging capacitors (see www.badcaps.net for what I mean).

Ok, at least you can set the CPU FSB to 95 which is what some Mp6 want. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP6 You can find the FSB/multiplier you need to set it for in there. The manual for your board is here: http://www.minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Shuttle/Shuttle%20-%20HOT-591P.pdf Combined with the …

Oh the components on the DIN connector pins are ceramic capacitors. They are not polarized, just as long as you put them back on the same pins you should be fine.

1. that looks like the metal got quite hot. I hope I'm wrong . 2. I think that stuff is quite universal and you can buy any length of it with two rows of pins and cut it to size. 3. No 4. Debounce the input. I gues it was sensitive to HF something and this way you have less interference. 5. It is …

I don't think a failed flash should cause the board not to power on at all. At least, I haven't heard of a failure like that yet. indeed usually it will power on with the fan at full blast or something and not much else. Capacitors: as long as it is not KZG or KZJ should be fine then. Nichicons …

Did you reset the bios to defaults before and after flashing? Sometimes settings already made in the bios are not there or in a different location in the new one. I know it should not matter but somehow sometimes it does.
