[mythtv-users] Hardware death - CPU vs motherboard?

[Tim Urben]

to echo what others have said..  Power supply might be bad..

Ive had a few do this to me.

could also be a failure to ram/video card/cpu.. if any of those 4 things
goes your getting the same thing.. heck even the cd rom could do it if it
were bad(cant remember a cdrom going bad tho)
