Good afternoon,
I've read postings here regarding this motherboard but I don't see any blue screen error discussions. My Compaq Presario SR5710F with a ECS (Elitegroup) MCP61PM-HM rev 1.0b motherboard has been giving me increasing blue screen error messages at start up and during run time. I've run multiple BurnInTest diagnostic tests, multiple passes of Memtest 86 and everything checks out OK. Drivers and software are all up to date. I don't have any memory to swap out but I believe it's OK. So I think it's time for cap replacements. OP system is VISTA Home Premium.
I do notice a couple of caps. appear to be leaking at the top with a slight bulge. They are 1800uF 6.3 v electros. Without removing the motherboard it's hard to tell if others are bad. I'm not sure if a single bad cap can contribute to blue screens.
I'm going to order a kit from the Bad Caps store this week. Has anyone recently replaced all 25 caps that are in the kit which resolved blue screen errors?
Thanks, Paul
