A few years back I took this 9500 pro out of a computer because it was crashing when running games or 3d apps. I recently remembered that I still had it and tried it out. Now all it does is give a garbled screen right at POST. I'm thinking that it might be bad video ram as the corruption looks the same every time. It does change a bit if I put it in a different computer with a different POST screen.
I've recapped many motherboards, power supplies and monitors, but never a video card. I don't recognize the brand of caps on the card. Are they a known bad type and would it be worthwhile trying to replace them. The caps just have labels of "HC Z", "NA", "A31E" etc, with a size. Most of them appear to be 470uF.
