Hi
My friend has a Asus maximus 3 formula. But it was getting unstable. He thougt it was the videocard that was making the computer to freeze and bluescreen so he bought a new videocard. But the computer still bluescreened and freeze so he bought a new psu with more power (corsair 750w). But after hooking up the new psu and started the computer three caps got blown away from the mainboard(sounded like a firecracker).
My question is. Do you think its possible to replace the bad caps and nothing more is damaged on the mainboard. Is it worth a try?. And i need to know what caps to buy. I can't read out what caps being used.
I will get the mainboard and cpu(i5) for free so it would be nice if i could fix it myself. My friend bought a new mainboard and i7 so there is nothing wrong with the new psu.
The ones i have marked with a red ring is the caps that got blown away
