Thanks Everyone!

Progress Report
I used Biostar because I've another Biostar system which has not
hiccuped in three years of 24/7 abuse.
Nvidia chipset: Young son wanted to do games and run Maya, Nvidia
GForce4 supports Maya's graphics rendering engine.
KNOPPIX 4.0.2 Live CD: can't load CUPS printer info.
Memtest86, Boot CD: everything A Ok, sees all memory, reports normal
speeds, reports no errors on all tests
BIOS: no changes, reset to factory and reconfigured -A Ok
Linspire Live CD: fails at saving printer settings, fails to connect
Fedora Core 4: takes ten min to load CUPS printer info (sometimes
fails), same for logout dialog box, all else snappy loading and
response, (behavior is the same with and without network connections)
network connections fast and stable (LAN and WAN)
South-bridge connections fine except printer
HD: normal activity
Question:
Does CUPS connect to a chip on-board to function?
Perhaps CUPS incompatible with Nvidia chipset?
All this worked fine for three months, then "south"
Time to Buy a new MOBO? Brands? MSI?
