[mdlug] PC Doesn't boot after moving the box

[Robert James Fulner]

I"m not 100% sure.

f I had to guess based on the unfamilar markigns on the board I'd say MSI
880GM-E43.

Please note as I said in my last mail now even with both of them plugged in
I get no display on my monitor. I just plugged my monitor into my work
laptop to verify it is still working.
