Might be letting it draw more power than spec.

Mine that has the defective southbridge circuit (that cooked several 
capacitors) continues to be just fine, so long as I don't plug in USB 
anything!! Right now it's hosting the old original PCLOS setup, which 
gets used as the #2 channel for summer baseball ...

.... so I can have two games going at once, since I haven't figured out 
how to get the Dell with the updated PCLOS to speak to a 2nd monitor. It 
has a vidcard and onboard video, tho not sure both can be convinced to 
work at the same time.
