    Another SV25 bites the big one? Help!

    Hi,
    I have a Shuttle SV 25. The caps all look great. Just like they were brand new. However, my board started blowing memory chips. 128meg went down to 45 meg. It still worked. (slowly) I was unwise in putting another 128 meg strip in to replace it. Within an hour I was down to 112meg. Even though the caps look great, do you think they are the likely culprit?
    Any help would be appreciated. I didn't see any postings that mentioned that the caps were murdering memory, but it seems like it could be a likely possibility.

    Thank you

    I just recapped a SV25 for a customer. During the testing phase (before I removed cover) I noticed the memory count would be sporatic. I then noticed one of the capacitors by the memory slots was not seated like the others and three by the CPU were bulged. I replaced the caps and as of almost two weeks the system has not locked up or rebooted. The memory count has been 100% since as well.
