Does it happen only when the BIOS resets the board? Does it happen when you reboot from the OS? "Soft reboots" (as CTRL+ALT+DEL in DOS prompt) locks the motherboard or it happens only when a "hard reset" is done? Does it happen when you use the reset button?
Hello. 😀 Here are my answers to your questions -
The BIOS does not hang while I am using the BIOS setup area, and therefore, it does not hang before any reset.
The mobo always hangs when I exit the BIOS, whether any changes have been made or not.
The mobo always hangs when I CTRL+ALT+DEL at a DOS prompt.
When the mobo has frozen in this manner, I can "wake the mobo up again" by shorting the 2 Reset Pins on the mobo. (Whatever changes were made and saved inside the BIOS setup area appear to be successfully saved, which is good news.)
When I switch on power to the mobo for the first time, I get no problems at all - DOS boots up correctly.
Please note: unfortunately, ATM, I cannot test whether an operating system such as Win95/Win98 causes any problems when this operating system resets the system, as I did not install Win95/98 on this machine at the time when I tested it.
Thanks a lot.
