As I said, Fedora and Windows XP both run perfectly on this machine,
once it has booted.
Is that compatible with a mainboard power problem?
When the power button of a PC is switched on, then the keyboard draws
power immediately.
This happens even before the completion of post. So theoretically it
is possible.
