Re: quick question from a noob dumbass!

thankyou kindly,

the original psu was a 800w seasonic, and the swap out tester was a naff 400w generic pile of crap!

the caps are indeed KZG so its out with the iron and hope that the chipset is fine

will report back

cheers, ben

Hello,

I have an A7N8X E Deluxe (socket a nforce2). The caps look ok, but the computer was switching itself off and refusing to start without unplugging/replugging. We did this quite a bit whilst trying out different psu, changing ram reseating everything etc. Now it won't restart. Fans spin at low speed and the power LED comes on, but thats it. No indication of life from cpu, hd or on screen.

My questions are...

1) is it likely to be the caps even though i can't see any damage
2) am i likely to have frazzled anything by restarting it so many...
