A7V333 -> System Failed CPU test message

My A7V333 board has worked OK until 3 weeks ago when it began
giving me the "System Failed CPU test" audio message at power up.
I took the processor (AMD ATHLON XP 2100+) and the memory (DDR2700)
and tried them in another machine and they worked fine. I stripped down my
system to nothing but CPU and MEMORY (power supply of course).
Still didn't work.
I sent the board to ASUS, and 2 days ago I received a new one.
However, the system gives me the same message. It seems to take a bit
longer though this time until the message starts: about 10-15 seconds.
Before, with the original board, it would start as soon as I turned the
power on.

This time I also tried a different power supplpy, form another computer
and it did the same thing: system failed CPU test.

What is left to check?

Anybody knows what exactly could cause the system to generate that annoying
message?

Are you shutting down the system properly? I sometimes get it when i've had
to hit the reset button.

I've ALWAYS got it when i've shut down or rest the PC when the BIOS is still
doing its thing at the beginning, but all i have to do to "fix it" is to go
into the bios, re-tell it what the cpu is, (usually is correct, jus change 1
option then change it back) then save and exit. works fine after that.
