[dba-Tech] Computer Problems

On the combination that it is booting I'd make a boot CD for MemTEST86 
and test that there arent any memory related problems.  on the original 
combination it sounds like the mobo took a dive.. and it even sounds 
like the replacement mobo is not up to snuff, it may also be going out?
