The new motherboard I ordered was $105.
It is for my MIL. She only does Quicken, and Facebook, and the occasional letter.
The only other bad motherboard I have even come across since 1982 was a brand new Dell workstation in about 1996. It would run the fans at FULL BLAST and I thought the computer was going to start hovering with the fan speed it was blasting out. Dell came to our office, and replaced the MB for free.
It is just weird that a working system, just died while sitting in on the tile floor, while turned off. It was not moved, and who knows why it died. It will start up to the point of checking the IDE systems, and comes up with a A20 error on the LED right on the motherboard.
There are no IDE cards plugged in at all. It uses the onboard Video, network and USB mouse and keyboard connections.
