Roger -
Can you describe these signs of failure?  What led you to believe that it is 
the motherboard at fault?
I am having major problems at the moment and am having difficulty deciding the 
cause.  I have run memtest, smartctl, and badblocks.  What else can I do?
smartctl showed some errors on the drive that holds the / system (/home is on 
a different drive) so I have ordered a new HDD, but I am now worrying that I 
may be throwing good money after bad, since I have had to order an IDE drive, 
which would have limited use in  more modern machine.
So - what led you to the conclusion that the problem in your case is the 
motherboard?
Thanks,
Lisi
