I had problems with some mobos mixing SATA and PATA drives. Bios likes

OpenSuSE on the SATA. Which I have first in the bios is the one that boots.

I tried it with only a CD trying to run the live CD and turned
everything else off in the BIOS as wemmas not having it connected in any
way. Same result.


If memory test is ok then motherboard is shot. I'm sure you already
check processor heat sink properly seated with heat sink compound and
other obvious overheating problems and bus controller fan and/or heat
sink. Outside chance could be the power supply acting weird.
