Nah, I don't believe the motherboard's fried. When you start up with no extensions the CD ROM won't wanna work anyway. There is/are problems with some of those extensions or other software. That's what causes the bombs. If you see the words, "Bus Error", then you could have a hard disk/CD ROM/cabling/ROM.... conflict. It's tedious, but start and turn off ALL extensions, then restart turning them on one at a time until that crash occurs. You'll find your problem that way. Or, if you own it, use Casady & Greene's Conflict Catcher and findit that way. Jeff -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
