No, thanks, Dave, I took them out of service because they won't do USB. My next step is to check whether the ground is good in my outlet, as someone suggested that static electricity might be my problem. I sent back one mobo that wouldn't work, but it may be that the CPU is damaged instead. I'm waiting for a report on that. I have always tried to keep in contact with an unpainted part of the chassis, which remains plugged in. I didn't have these problems in my previous abode, which makes me suspicious of the outlet under my desk.

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

> 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?
