Geek's night in - number 6

Sweetie's desktop machine didn't come up this morning. The power supply works, the rest of the thing operates, but the USB didn't, and the video card didn't. I suspect there's some sort of hinky OS-related thing that keeps the USB from working, and I also suspect the video card simply died.

If all goes well, it'll be done tomorrow. If things don't go well, I may be working on this thing the rest of the month. Whee.
