I've had 2 systems suffer the same symptoms: power cutting out/shutting down without warning and failure to boot or reach POST, possibly caused by surges during thunderstorms.
I tried rectifying the problem on the older system by buying an upgraded GPU, and a new PSU, neither helped. I finally realised it must be the MB when there was zero activity when switched on. I looked at the MB and saw quite a few domed CAPS. I bought new ones and replaced them but it changed nothing. I was advised that it might be that the new CAPS I bought were not upto the job. It could be that more need replacing that do not show obvious visible signs of damage.
But as I have a new system that I don't wanna lose, I figured I would ask you guys for help. So I've tried to find which CAPS have gone bad and here are the details:
On the older system: G-Luxon 6.3v 3300uF 105c
On the newer system: RLX 0851 6.3v 1000uF 105c
I hope you guys can help suggest the proper replacement CAPS as I've already spent ££'s on a soldering iron, CAPS etc but a few more ££'s to get 2 PCs up & running would be amazing!
If you need any more info please jus ask!
