I recently got this old computer free and i cleaned out the dust before doing anything
it seems to have a habit of now powering on and giving a psu related error
on the motherboard there are a few 6.3v 2200uf caps that look like they are starting to bulge near the ram
so i opened up the psu and oh god i should have done this i the 1st place i need to take it outside and blast the bunnies out of it
Any common fail points i should be aware of in the PSU?
EDIT: After cleaning that out i have managed to get a code meaning "A possible system board failure has occurred."
some times it boots other times it gives me this
