I built my Mom a computer using some parts left over from a system of mine. It is an Athlon XP 1800+ on an Epox 8RDA nforce2 motherboard. Lately, she has been having issues where it seems only 2 out of three things work at one time; those being sound, printer, and lan. She says they will not work together anymore. I have verified this to be true. The motherboard is about four years old (I think), as well as the cpu/ram (1gb, 3 pieces). She was on AOL (now yahoo dsl), and the AOL dialer also kicks in randomly, but I think that is a separate issue.
My question is, what might cause this? A dying motherboard? I have run a pc diagnostics app (System Mechanic 7), and it did it's thing with no help to my issues (no huge supprise there). I have never had a motherboard exibit a slow death, if that is what this issue is. The random, intermittent thing is driving me nuts.
Suggestions, or comments? Thanks in advance.
