Ah yes I should hve said originally, Its an Epox 8RDA+ with 1Gb RAM in
2x512Mb sticks with an AMD Athlon 2600 processor. The processor will
also misreported on occasion as an Athlon 1200, though I think this is
linked to when the FSB is misread as 100Mhz instead of 166Mhz

Many of those boards (all?), mine included, had dodgy caps and exhibited all sorts of random faults. Check for capacitor leaks and bulges. Then check again. Nice boards, shame about the quality ...
