I checked some stuff again this evening.
Caps seem to be in good shape: they are all clean with no signs of leakings or deformations.
I tried to boot from win2k cd but at a certain point the installer hangs exactly in the same way as it did when booting from disk, so Win is not the cause this time.
About the motherboard: the sticker on the mobo says it's a 007B, but hardware inventory says 006J...
Ok now I'm getting really confused about this box..
EDIT: I just found on usenet that other people had this report problem with their mobo (006J vs 007B) and it could end up in PROM seeing the wrong mobo revision.So actually I could have a 007B not working with 1Gb of ram..
Is there someone here on the forum with a 320+1Gb rig that could tell me which mobo rev is using?
Thanks,TeoX
