     A 'hardware problem' with your motherboard is a possibility; but,
it is pretty near the bottom of the list of suspects. Mainly, AppleTalk
is a known source of problems (pretty much like ScreenSaver NDAs).  A
good first step after installing any version of GS/OS is to delete any
driver, init, text file, etc. which looks like it may have anything to
do with AppleTalk.
