I recently built a system with an abit kt7 MB and a 1ghz amd t-bird processor. It worked great for a couple of weeks and then started to reboot randomly. One mouning when i woke up it was rebooting over and over again, so i just shut it down. Later that day i tried to turn it on and it wouldnt even POST. I could not get to the bottom of the problem, after many hours of troubleshooting. I realized i needed to print something for school so i hooked up my HP P1000 printer to another machine and printed the document. About ten minutes later the machine started to reboot at random. When i unhooked the printer it started to work fine. Is it possible my usb printer zaped my abit MB? Thanks in advance for any replies. The_Dude
