Re: Abit AT7E freeze during OS boot

have you consider that it's maybe the problem with your psu(s) that failing? are the caps on your mobo = jackons? what about ram, how many pieces and have you tried memtest86? details will help.

I'm not sure ..never change the PSU coz test it on other mobo's it worked
fine .. The caps on da mobo = some green taepo,nichicon & rubycon ..the
green taepo mostly near the ram slot area. never suspect the ram also coz
it just worked fine on others mobo too

My guess is with a partial recap - my neighbor has a VH6T, I believe, that's got mostly Teapo caps. These often fail without external signs. His froze up during boot, too.

stng, maybe you need an esr meter. if you can find one in your near electronick shop, let me know. i want to buy a dozen.

you can never be sure untill you recap it with the known good caps (used cap is ok if it passed the esr meter test).

To Stng: I also have an abit AT7. IT died suddenly, first it complained of missing video card, then it refused to show anyting on the screen(fan still spin, with led lits on)
I am just curious of what serie of teapo caps are used on your motherboard?
What 's the date code one the date?
Also what teapo caps value you replaced?

The teapo caps series on my board is SC
