    Notorious for video problems. Neck hurts from that video.



    Recap mobo and PSU. Do PSU first.

            Worse caps in the supply.

            That's why I said in Post #2 "Recap mobo and PSU. Do PSU first."

              well so far so good, i bought an extra parts lot and have a spare psu, need to replace the bloated caps on it, then i will swap it for my original. but the imac has been performing flawlessly for a month.
