Re: Different brands on my MB, ID any bad ones?

Ok, thanks guys!

Hello all,

After buying a replacementboard for my [URL=https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8641]dead HP DC7100 computer[/URL], I bought me a used Gigabyte board with Solid caps (GA-965p-DS3). However, this one has a infinite reboot problem and I'm close to throwing everything out of the window!!!

However I have another Gigabyte board laying around, which is okay at the moment, and I was wondering if I can expect any problems in the future, so my question is, does it have good caps on them or is it a mix of bad and good brands?
It has 22 Sanyo caps...

Re: Which older Abit, Asus socket775 915-945-p35 motherboards have good good caps?

Thanks! I have bought me a GA-965P-DS3 on ebay today for 35 euro postage included.

I will try to reset CMOS of the old board but it needs to go anyway.

@i4004. Sometimes boards do not always support the various P4 cpus.

I know read on the internet that the p35 en 965 based motherboards have jmicron controllers aswell. Hopefully I will not have any troubles connecting a IDE dvd burner to a GA-P35-DS3, GA-965P-DS3 or Abit IP-35 board?

I will try to clear the CMOS first.

As far as I know the PSU works fine, last time I used it, it was 100% ok.
Original was a HP PSU, 365Watt, I now have the Coolermaster Extreme Power 380Watt.

The old HP board has a mix of good and bad brands on them like Rubycon, G-Luxon, an F symbol (with stripes above and under the capital), GSC, KZG, Nichicon. The board is from around 2005-2006 I guess.

I'm a bit limited when it comes to a new board because...

Thank you.

BTW This should be: "Replaced the PSU but it DIDN'T help".

Hello all,

My HP DC7100 doesn't boot, sort of hangs during Bios startup. Replacing the PSU but it did help. I'm guessing the motherboard is dying.

I'm looking for a cheap replacement, could anybody tell which older Abit, Asus (or ay other quality brand) socket775 915 or 945 or p35 boards are stable and known for having good caps?

Many thanks!
