I just received an Emachines system for repair. Model T3256 with an FIC AU31 mobo. The system has spontanious shutdowns, phantom restarts and looks like graphics corruption as well. There's a real mixed bag of caps on this (pos)pc. Smaller caps are ost 1000uf 6.3, and teapo's 220uf. There's also 2 Sanyo 1000uf 16v, 4 Rubycon ZL 820uf 25v and 8 Nichicon HM 2200uf 6.3. A real mixed bag. All caps visually look fine but considering the problems, I wonder if the HM's are causing the problem.
The PSU is a Bestec 300w (real wimpy unit). Looks like CapXon on primary, secondaries are Jamicon and I think Ost (black with gold stripe can't see it well enough).
Any thoughts?
I'll post pics when I get home.
