So....I've been recapping boards for a while now, most of them have been Dell Optiplex SX270's. (97% success rate). However, just recently, I've had two computers in a row display a "Timer Tick Interrupt" after a recap. I know what timer tick interrupt means, but I'm not sure what I did to cause this. When the first board went bad, I was a little irritated (after all that hard work), but I shrugged it off. Well, I just got finished with another board...low and behold, THE SAME THING! Now I'm pissed. 
Has anyone else experienced this after a repair? Am I doing something wrong? I re-checked my work twice and couldn't find any cut traces or cracked solder joints, and all my tracks were clean before I resoldered the new caps on. Any help is greatly appreciated.
