Hi, just about to get my long awaited first hot swap under orders. I will of course read all the stuff I got off Ruslan b4 going ahead, I havnt gone thru it for a while. My question is that my first target for repair is a Soltek board based on 133 chipset. When the board went down the pc would stall during post and sit for a very long time b4 booting or being turned off. Is it likly that flashing the boot block of the same chip will solve problem or is it likly the chip will need to be replaed with a new one? Lastly I treid a flash or 2 on the mobo back along and got the pc to boot fine for a while b4 the old problem reoccured.
