I have to say, I think motherboard failure is unlikely in this instance as the problem only appears to manifest itself when James is online. If the motherboard was failing, I would expect this to happen at random intervals regardless of the state of the connection.
The only other vague possibility is that the serial controller is asserting a HLT on the processor, but I'd have thought that's unlikely.

Possibly the power regulation on the board is failing, may be a duff decoupling capacitor. If it is the mobo, the is no real way to test it short of wapping it out and seeing whether that cures the problem.
Hmmm - but surely if he wapps the mobo out then nowts gunna work ;)
But then 'swap' implies an exchange. Mind you, if he exchanges his mobo for you brain .... I'm not sure who would be the gainer ;-)
