Just recapped PC Chips M726MRT board that had weird issues. It ran fine with PII 450 but not with PIII 450 - it failed during Prime95 after a couple of minutes (either with error or even with BSOD). The weird thing is that it worked fine with PIII 550 (non-E).
There were 6 G-Luxon 1500uF/6.3V LZ series caps (black with brown/gold printing) near Slot 1. They looked fine, no bulging or leaking. But I replaced them anyway (two Nichicons and 4 OSTs - I don't have anything more suitable now...). It seems to run fine with PIII 450 now
The VRM runs pretty hot under heavy load - it's that one with 34063 controller, one MOSFET and double schottky diode.
