---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
I Finally got my board back got the system set back up and every thing
worked perfect for about 4 hours same flicker and now same problem system
board has green led on board lit yet system will not power on.  this is a
completely different board then the one i had ( different mac addresses on
ethernet card ) same damn problem.  besides a failing board again could
another device be taking out the system and take 4 hours to do something?
the computer worked perfectly and was displaying perfect status for temps.
The board i have is an asus p5n-d mother board its still being sold gona
start some google searches to see how many problems people are having with
um .....  so if anyone would like to help it would be much appriacaited.
