    Help Im Thinking of Poly Moding my Via P4M800pro

    hello everybody. i just discovered this site and did alot of reading.
    my pc was fine when i was using my old 256mb ddr2 ram but since this is too small for windows 7 i upgraded it to a 2gb pc 6400 geli memory module. only 1gb is detected by the motherboard. i guess this motherboard dosent recognize dual channel ddr2 so anyway. at the time of the upgrade my pc was running much much faster. so then i was pleased. but after 3 to 4 months of operation things started to get real bad. slowdowns,lockup's the mouse just freezes ect ect. up to this point that im real desperate in fixing it. because i literally cant use it. for anything!

    i found out my motherboard has (12) 6.3v 1000uf teapo capacitors bulging and some residue on each of the vent. on the ram side. while on the CPU side there are a couple of capasitors rated 16V i was thinking of fully poly modding this board. please would somebody help me/give me advice?

      The board is old enough to not be worth a poly mod. Heck, it doesn't even see a 2GB memory module. Try 2 1GB ones.

          Poly VVX-250 VOIP POE problem not booting fix
          by CapLeaker
          I've got a bunch of Poly VVX-250 VOIP phones that work fine as kind as long as they are plugged into the wall wart. Recently I got around to install a couple of TP-Link 5 port POE switches that are added to the existing plain Jane 24 port unmanaged switch. Great!!! Finally I am able to ditch the wall warts from these phones making more space on the desk, plus I am gaining some badly needed power outlets. So I thought.

          Plugged in the first VVX-250 into the POE switch, booted up no problem. Plugged in the other Poly phones and they start to boot anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds,...

          "amd" ddr2...

          So what's with the "AMD" DDR2?

          My (Intel) board "officially" supports 4G DDR2's (four slots, 16G total) but this "AMD" deal is kind of scary recalling back to the old SDRAM deal. In fact I have a few 512M SDRAM modules now but they don't work in my 440BX board, which is too bad, would rather run this board with 2GB RAM through its four slots, else have to use the VIA boards with only 3 slots is the best I can otherwise do.

          But anyway I heard these "AMD" DDR2 still "work" on an Intel board but cannot clock at PC6400...

          bricked my laptop ram from messing around too much with spdtool!
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          so i thought i could squeeze some extra speed out of my ram... i was trying it using some 2x2gb kingston hyperx so-dimm ddr2-667mhz cl4 on my dell latitude e6500 latoptop. it worked well only until when i tried flashing the modified settings on it using spdtool. laptop now beeps for bad ram... *grumble* had to add the stock 2x2gb nanya ddr2-800mhz cl6 ram back into it...

          i tried putting one hyperx module in and the other nanya module in thinking it would follow the nanya's looser timings and settings but nooo... still no boot and same old bad memory...

          Which caps to replace: ECS P4M800Pro-M V1.0A
          by Mattz_GT
          It's feeling like this board has a case of badcaps, instability and reboots - and not wanting to necro a a very old thread, it seems the 680uF 4V are highly suspect.
          I don't really want to blanket recap everything, but maybe the others around that area could do with being changed?

          Equipment: I have a temperature controlled soldering station, read the bit where it says set to 400F, don't think I would have gone that high without reading that.
          Spring plunger solder sucker, and some desolder braid... and a bit of good old leaded 60/40.

          PS. Additional diagnostic,...
