Hi all,
This is my first post- I have visited the badcaps.net site before, but never had a problem until now. I bought a used board from craigslist (first purchase from there too and I had always stayed away because of the fear of getting ripped off).....anyways. During my attempts at overclocking, the system eventually got very unstable even after going to normal settings.
It would fail at many things including cloning my hard drive to a back up drive. Now it does not boot into W7 and restarts while loading the O/S, freezes during BIOS check, during memory checks, and so on.
It reboots during the O/S or randomly as it tries to boot....... I've ruled out the HD, RAM, PSU--- it's just the motherboard now (at least until I check each RAM stick individually with Memtest).
How can I tell if a chip is fried or if a capacitor problem exists?
