So my redhat linux box died. AMD 1900+

[computadorka]

So it is my redhat clone, on an old AMD1900, MSI mobo, and it runs pretty much 24/7 as it acts as my router/firewall.

so, this morning i move the mouse to take the monitor out of sleep and it doesnt come out

so i turn it off and turn it back on and it doesnt post nor video comes on.

now what?

I can reseat stuff this afternoon, but am thinking its the mobo and maybe getting one of these bad boys

Not a bad idea especially for a router/firewall. Being you don't actively use it all the time, it can be tucked away nicely with that. I say go for it, linux has pretty good support for VIA but I'd make sure the NIC is definitely supported before I bought it, because you're obviously going to need 2 NIC's for a router/firewall.
