Trouble with fedora

[Ken Cooper]

Well, our cases are almost the same, and I believe the only difference 
is the motherboard.  Well, I have a soyo, and he doesn't.  I don't know 
which he has.  I know that does make a big difference.  I just have to 
guess it's the motherboard that's faulty, and will have to get a new one 
unfortunately!!!
