Re: Computer will POST only after a dozen boot attemps

I've seen worse - this one at least has populated inductors on the secondary pi-filter. You can easily recap this one with a wide range of good caps - my current pick is the Nichicon PW(M) or Rubycon YXG, but various other choices exist. Just make sure that you recap everything on the auxiliary power supply, which supplies +5Vsb as well as the internal supply for the controller.

Hmmm sorry for reviving this thread, but it would be nice to move it to the: "Power Supply Design and Troubleshooting" forum. I think what happened to me might be a very common problem; many persons out there might have a bad PSU that's causing a similar range of symptoms.

By the way, I'm still extremely happy of my new Enermax PSU. It outputs a VERY stable signal, no interference whatsoever. It was extremely easy to install (and the manual was very complete). The computer's behavior is back to normal.
