Hello all,
I hope this is the right place to post this if not please refer me.
I have an old Z68X-UD5-B3.
Lately it's developed a problem. When it's hot it won't turn on. If I leave it for about an hour sometimes more it turns on. I can leave it on for days no problem but after I turn off the computer if I try turning it on again it's hopeless. I need to wait. Can anyone help narrow down what might be the malfunction?
Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Z68X-UD5-B3.. great board with B3 chipset revision in its day. I ran mine with a SandyBridge, then IvyBridge processor for years.
You're at the 10 yr point.
What you can try, in no specific order:
-CLR_CMOS / Reset its BIOS and configure from scratch
-Inspect the chips, capacitors and IC's for bulging, discoloration or visible signs of heat damage
-Try a different PSU (if this is as old as the board, it can fail too)
-My advice, don't invest further in this now obsolete technology. Any future dollars should be spent on current tech.
Good Luck! :)

Still using 2600k on mine and it is 10yo.
