Abit BF6 mobo. Had the mobo working great on my work bench (no case), and updated the bios. Had Win98, Win2k, and XP installed. System was working great for several days, then I disconnected the mobo because I wanted to upgrade my old BH6 mobo. Installed the BF6 mobo, and it would not boot. Had a problem with the keyboard. Even a brand new keyboard would not work. Had to RMA the board back to Abit.

Lessee....most recently, had an IBM 10k U160 HD suddenly develop a bunch of bad sectors. And my old 5AX mobo came back dead from the guy I sold it to, had a PA-2013 die too, had a couple floppy drives and CDROMs come back dead too.

Haven't killed any CPUs though...(knocks wood (skull))
Doh! Stupid brain....
