On my server, an Intel D945GCLF2 Atom Mini-ITX motherboard, the BIOS seems to take a long time to load. As well, when you go into setup, scrolling between the pages is sluggish. While you normally get instant response moving from Advanced to Boot, I get instead, the page has to reload fully, taking a few seconds more.
I took the normal precautions. Reset BIOS. Try to run on minimal hardware. Tried a different PSU. Nothing changes for the better.
I think that the problem was the Atom CPU overheating. I only noticed recently that it had done so. It could have progressed to this. But I gave the whole system a 48 hour cool down, and seems to run rather cool now. But it may have left ample damage.
Any of you think as much? If so, I'll get a new board, maybe something a bit more than my Atom.
