Got Gigabyte GA-PE667 Pro as probably dead. All components were fine, just the board. OK, I have waited for POST card to have a look whether it is completelly dead or what. Booted on first try.
Today I wanted to have a look at some memory (again fully OK, just need to have a look at some parameters). Board appears to be completelly dead. What the hell? Did you ever encountered such a behaviour?
I have the feeling CPU socket is too loosy but I tried to swap two CPUs several times, it should catch up at least one time I think…
All bigger caps are good, Rubycon and Sanyo. Only the smallest ones (100 uF) are Choyo…do you think they may be so important they make chipset look dead?

Half of the computer problems is caused by bad contacts
