Update: Replaced all the 3300 ufd and 1000 ufd caps (10 of them) near and around the CPU and VRMs. Also 4 caps (12 volt and 5 volt lines) in the PSU, even though they looked physically OK.Then I went to install Ubuntu, and it finished without a hitch. Everything's just fine and dandy now.

Re: Doesthis looklikebad caps?

I have an ECS K7S5A that had intermittent problems recognising memory in its first SDRAM slot

Found that a previous owner had got one of the contacts to stick out into the socket then squashed it flat

Tried to straighten it, but succeeded in breaking it off instead

At least that SDRAM socket is 100% unreliable now

same happened to my asus a7v8x. the middle slot was finicky, found a bent contact, tried to fix but it folded and i cant unfold it. at least pc3200 limits it to 2 slots anyway...
