Hi Ky!

Think this was originally in the other message but morphed into other 
areas.  Anyway, remember me typing about issues here with the system 
locking up sometimes when I plug a thumbdrive or rarely other USB device
into the computer?  I think the problem isn't with the USB 
ports/circuits but more with the way the motherboard/something reacts to
static electricity.

Had touched the side of the case (metal) and 'snap!' from the discharge 
and the system froze.  Happened several times.  Originally may have had 
a 'false positive' with the thumbdrive (USB port) as may not have noted 
the static electric spark as through the thumbdrive rather than my 
finger.  

Checked on-line -- others have similar issues over the years; various 
brands but I didn't notice anything to components.  Will have to recheck
my grounding; haven't felt like crawling aorund down there! (Or those 
pesky But Firsts!)
