Back when I was working a lot with these boards, it didn't seem to be the caps (these boards were way younger then they are now).
These boards were finicky right out of the box, but still it might not even be a bad idea!
Do you remember how finicky were those motherboards back in the day?
Recently my ASUS A7V (also revison 1.02) has had 2 different problems at the same time. One, the SSD running through Sata to IDE adapter stopped being detected by the board. And it wasn't the problem with the adapter or the disk, because i tried different adapters and a Sata HDD and it still wasn't detected. However it did detect the SD Card to IDE adapter and about a week later, when i put the mb to a test bench for some tests, the SSD just started to work again - it detected it again!
Two, any PS2 keyboard i use, locks the computer and i get horrible PC speaker noises for a few seconds. Sometimes it even gives me no keyboard or keyboard error in the post screen.
Are these any of the common problems with this motherboard or are they completly new problems?
