My PC motherboard have few dead caps (few years already). Its working good (pc not starting right away tho when switched on, but after 5 mins or so system starting) with warm room temperature, but when temp. falling to 23 C or lower then writing errors appears on harddrive. Temperature >23 C - no writing errors. How this phenomena can be explained on physical level? Dead caps still have some capacity and working better when its warmer? Or some other explanation?

Re: Interesting phenomena
lower ESR when the caps heat up..
interesting fact is that this wikipedia article points to "Capacitor Plague".. and that badcaps doesn't appear in the linklist of that plague article..
i've expected a link to badcaps.net there..
