I was going to try this, but this morning the machine won't turn on at
all.  That is, press power button, fans spin up for about 1 second,
then immediately everything turns off.  Pulled the power switch off
the mobo and used a screwdriver between the pins to power up, and got
the same behavior.  Pulled the RAM, same behavior.  Wish I had an
alternate CPU to test.  Anyway I guess swapping out the mobo is the
next move.

Thanks all,
