This motherboard was installed in 2003, has been flaking out a bit here and there since 2009.
Sometimes it would run for quite a while before posting, and I would have to reboot it a few times to get it to post.
Now it's doing the permanently running thing again, when it does attempt to post, it won't even get to the memory test, it locks up half way through the word memory at "memor"
Faulty BIOS chip?
The problem with replacing it is that I am using the proprietary on-board RAID in a RAID 0 configuration (eSATA) so I kinda need a replacement board (or a fix) that will allow this array to work, since the OS (XP) is running on it.
Specs:
1 x ASUS PC-DL Deluxe Dual 603/604 Intel 875P ATX Server Motherboard
2 x Intel Xeon 2.8 Prestonia 2.8GHz Socket 604 Processor Model BX80532KE2800D

2 x Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM - in Raid 0 format, Crive
