This Dell Optiplex 740 has been running Windows XP reliably with the same 
mouse and keyboard since 2009. I have tried 2 different mice and they are 
USB and it is not the mouse. I have figured out the problem is all the USB 
ports go dead when this happens. When the mouse the stops, the keyboard 
works for a while but If I unplug keyboard and plug it back in it will no 
longer work at all. Nothing works in any of the USB ports after the mouse 
stops. I have tried re-installing the appliance, removing the sound card, 
removing memory one stick at a time and the video card and the USB ports 
will stop working. I have downgraded the BIOS to 4 former versions and 
that makes no difference. There must be something in this Dell chipset 
that is conflicting with CentOS. Nothing shows up in dmesg or 
the /var/log/messages file. My next step will be downgrading the the 
version 1 appliance but I don't have high hopes. 

What brand and model computer are you guys using that have success with 
Rivendell Appliance?

Thanks
Larry
