      That's a pretty old board. Could be bulged or bloated caps on the board or in the power supply.

      Do a visual examination of the caps on the board and in the PSU.

      Either test the Power Supply using a tester or swap it out with another power supply and see if that helps.

      Photos of the motherboard and power supply internals would help.

      You will have to take the board out of the case at the very least. Remote chance that something on the board or trapped between the board and the case is causing a short to ground.

          Bad capacitors most likely. On the board. That Duron runs hot and it probably popped all nearby caps by now.

          I'd look into getting an entirely new computer though or at the very least upgrade the CPU and memory, i'm not sure how you do with Windows XP in 128MB.

              the durons were in the middle of the cap fiasco.
              99.9% chance its caps.
              and yes xp with 128mb would be painful to use.forget sp3.

                  Bad caps for sure if it is a USB device. But Serial and Parallel devices are not active upon plugin like USB so I think your problem is PSU related.

                      ok guys i have added 256MB RAM to my system

                      These are the caps in the systems

                      6.3v 4700uF (x4)
                      6.3v 1000uF (x6)
                      6.3v 330uF (x2)
                      10v 100uF (x4)

                      What are the upper limit or lower limit of both voltage and capacitance i can replace with as am not getting the same diameter and capacitance of the capacitors. the ones i get need space not available in the system

                          What brand and series are there on the board? A nice clear picture of the board would help greatly.

                          And there's no reason you need to change the values on anything. Topcat stocks all the caps you need in the badcaps.net store and ships anywhere in the world.

                          Where are you located? We will help you pick the right caps.

                              i just observer that some times as in 1 in 100 chances, the system behaves well. and the rest of the time not. Are you still sure i need to recap?

                                  Hi, trademil Horizon freeze after start like video, i try reset (3sek push stop), remove and I put new ones capaticors 3,3V line digital and analog line.
                                  The device in service mode passes all tests, except for the display test, where it hangs. The display in service mode during engine testing, etc. seems to behave correctly, it shows values, the engine is working, I can adjust its speed but only in service mode, in normal operation after pressing start the machine freezes



                                  All the multiplexers that support the display seem to be working. It's like the processor...

                                  Yamaha MOX8 boot freeze and distorted sound
                                  by maleksa
                                  My Yamaha MOX8 synthesizer recently developed two issues.

                                  Firstly, after booting up, it operates as normal. However, after about 5 minutes, the sound starts to get distorted (broken up screeching sound) almost like putting it through a guitar distortion pedal. After a while, the distorted sounds will go away for a while and comes back. At times, the synthesizer will also freeze I need to power off and on again.

                                  Secondly, when powering off and on again, there will be times where the synthesizer will freeze during the boot sequence (freezes at the MOX8 Opening Screen),...

                                  Hi there,

                                  i have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ARE05 that will freeze randomly.
                                  Sometimes it wont even post, sometimes i can use it for a couple seconds or minutes before it completely freezes.
                                  Sometimes the screen freezes, but still displays the last frame, sometimes (pretty rare) the screen goes black

                                  It does not matter what i do. Installing windows, starting Fedora or just sitting in the bios. After some time it will freeze.
                                  When the freeze occurs, the laptop draws a pretty constant wattage (it will just stay on the value that it draws, when it locks...
