Can anyone identify this cap?

[Tom41]

I heard from a friend of mine that his computer is starting to show occasional bad cap symptoms (rebooting at inconvenient times etc). He can't take pictures due to the fact that there's stuff piled up next to his machine but he can at least see the caps. None of them are bulged or leaking in any way, at least not visibly. They have green plastic sheathing, gold writing and a * vent on the top. Not a K, T, Y or X vent, a 'star' vent. I've never seen a cap like that before, anyone know what it could be?

rebooting can be also memory bad

That's Teapo - not too bad, but they occasionally fail in VRM applications. It could also be a bad cap next to the Northbridge or DIMM slots.

A cooling improvement measure?

Or 'stuff' leaked out of a cap?
