This seems like a translation error. The german original reads
"Eigentlich f�r C-Athlons ausgelegt, produziert die Northbridge VT8363A
Restart-Probleme mit genau dieser CPU." which roughly translates to
"Originally intended for C-Athlons, the Northbridge VT8363A causes
restart problems with exactly this CPU."
The original article goes on with "Wie Stephan Schwolow von MSI
Deutschland gegen�ber CHIP Online mitteilte, l�sst sich das Problem mit
der VIA-Northbridge anhand eines Warmstarts aus dem DOS-Modus oder einem
Windows-Neustart identifizieren: Bleibt der Bildschirm schwarz, hat der
Chip einen Fehler."
Translation: "As Stephan Schwolow from MSI Germany told Chip Online, the
problem with the VIA northbridge can be identified by a warm start from
DOS or a Windows reboot: If the screen stays black, the chip has an
error."
As far as I understand it, the problem is only affecting "warm reboots".
And I couldn't care less about warm reboots - my machines usually run
24/7 :)
