i have an asus a8v with the following caps:
4 x 1000uF 16V Panasonic FJ 8mm(Ø) x 20mm(H) @ CPU VRM In Area
6 x 1800uF 6.3V Panasonic FL 8mm(Ø) x 20mm(H) @ CPU VRM Out Area
20 x 820uF 6.3V Panasonic FJ 8mm(Ø) x 12mm(H) @ NB Area and AGP/PCI Slot Areas
9 x 100uF 16V Nichicon VZ(M) A0507 5mm(Ø) x 12mm(H) @ Onboard Sound Chip Area and Fan Headers
i previously recapped only the cpu vrm area of the board which had bad HMs from 2005 and KZGs but i still get freezes and BSODs in windows and kernel panics in linux.
windows throws up a machine check exception 9c error. the BSOD error code appears to be related to system bus or memory errors.
the linux kernel panic message appears to be memory related.
system was tested with memtest and prime95 blend but no error can be detected. however, the readmes for memtest and p95 note that it is possible to pass the test and still possibly have faulty components.
so i have to ask if i could still have bad caps in the NB and RAM areas? could the FJs in those areas be faulty as well and throwing up system bus and memory errors? this board was bought second hand by me. so i dont know the history of the board and how badly it was abused by the previous owner. even good caps can die if abused.
thanks for reading.
