Greetings:
My thanks to all respondents for their suggestions, but sad to say, I
got no joy. At this time the machine is unusable and I'll probably have
to take it in for repair or just buy a new mobo. I now can't get beyond
the boot stage, it usually dies with a kernel panic either right away or
shortly after startup. Big bummer.
If there are little brown spots on the top of some condensers on the mobo,
then they are fried and you have to get a new one.(unless you fancy soldering
multi-layer boards) Apperently some factories saved a few tenths of pennies
by using substandard parts.
The power-supply is another good candidate for replacement.
