John,
    If you need either of those machines back I can bring them.

Subject: [Nolug] Two systems down - what to do?

> My MS friend's system and my spare system are both down. I suspect
mobo trouble, ordered a new one and a new Athlon 1100 (separate
sources) and no matter what I swap with what (including video boards)
neither will light the monitor. I didn't dare swap any components with
the good system except the monitor. Both monitors work with the good
system and neither works with the other two.
> I had a similar problem several months ago and only solved it by
buying a mobo/CPU bundle. Is it possible that bad mobos and CPUs can
contaminate each other?
> Back in 386/486 days, I never had this sort of problem. Of
course, those were inferior chips and they often gave out after a
year or so. Have higher speeds made components harder to work with?
