Which KVM switch do you recommend?

Searching for a new KVM switch to replace my 20-year old unit that still works fine and switches instantly ... however it has very old (pre ps2) keyboard ports that require adaptors and 9-pin serial ports that I don't know if they can even be made to work with new usb connected mice. Looking at

I've been using the IOGEAR GCS634U 4-port USB with audio for about 6 months and it is great, a few incidents where video resolution isn't maintained during switching, but pressing monitor auto adjust fixes it. Includes cables, and uses hot keys. Spent about $50 at Fry's. Sean Parsons

Motherboard died?

I came home and my Mythbuntu computer was off. I hit the power button and nothing happened: no sounds, no lights, zip. I figured my power supply unit (PSU) took a dive. I unplugged the main connector from the motherboard (MB) and did the paper clip test where you put a paper clip in the green

It could still be your power supply. Just because it turns on doesn't mean that it's supplying the correct, or even all the different voltages it needs to. If you can put a spare power supply on it, or hook your current power supply to a proper tester, that would at least eliminate that from

When I've seen this in the past it's been caused by a loop in the network, and it takes a while for the broadcast traffic, mostly DHCP in my case, to build up to the point that there is nothing left of the network. In my cause it was usually caused by someone bringing in a rouge wireless

You might also try plugging in a spare Hard Drive. I had a similar problem a couple years ago with an old(er) Dell system and the MB simply refused to POST unless the Drive was functional; A drive swap ended up bringing it back (but not before I wasted a bunch of time trying everything else).
