Are these bad?
This is from an Abit KT7A. The board had been fine since i bought it (1 1/2 to 2 yrs ago). I added a new hard drive about a month ago, and had to reboot a few times to get it to post. I took out my floppy today, and can't get it to post at all. Abot half of the caps are bulging, but I didn't notice any leaking at the bottoms. Here is a shot of the worst ones:

Most definitely time for a recap! STOP USING THE BOARD!! I've seen MANY KT7's burn themselves up from bad caps. If it's still somewhat working, stop using it NOW, and recap it. If you can't do it yourself, I can, or KC8 can.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Thanks for the help. I've been thinking about upgrading for a while, so I think I'll trash the board and upgrade the an Athlon64. Thanks again.Comment

If you're seriously gonna trash it, I'll take it off your hands. No sense in it going to waste.Originally posted by Innova<--- Badcaps.net Founder
