Along similar lines, I just had to have my motherboard replaced.
While I was talking with the repairman, he told me of a job he had
done recently. A customers machine kept going down and he couldn't
figuare out what it was. He had swapped just about every part that
he could think of. He then noticed that one of the internal cables
was not the original CT one, the system had been purchased through a
VAR that had msde up their own cables. Sure enough, as soon as he
replaced the cable, the machine started humming along fine and he
hasn't had to go back there since.
