Re: my board went kaput!

Thanks!! Ill try and post pics tomorrow.

Also, my board has had high usage for about 2 years. My computer would run without shut down for a exceeding amount. Basically a more than average wear and tear. Would that play a part in a good cap biting the dust too soon?

At least it seems that my board is the problem. Im new to bad caps and found this site after realizing what might be the problem with my computer failing to start properly.

Upon examining my comp thinking it was a graphix card issue my friend and I realized that a capacitor near the cards was literally gone. All that was left was the mangled stilts. After more inspection there was a second one near my processor gone as well.

I do believe they were of the same kind after analysing the board for similarities. I in no way know about curcuitry on this level but I thought...
