you mean replace as in "get a new one"? Oh cripes. I reeeeally don't want to replace the motherboard. The CPU and memory have warranties on them, and they're not so hard to replace physically. the motherboard would be a giant pain.

Please, please don't let it be the motherboard...

I really hope I don't have to replace any parts, frankly.

By the way, my Win2K came with service pack 2, and I also had to restart in the middle of an installation to get it to recognize it. The Logitech mouseware didn't even get loaded after that. I had to reinstall it before it finally took over.

Please don't let it be a hardware problem.....:(
