Re: Need some help as I'm having possible bad cap issues with an Epox 8RDA3+ mobo.

Thanks for the quick confirmation everyone. I was pretty much 95% sure that's what it must have been but I just wanted some experienced 2nd and 3rd opinions. Ok so I think I'll buy that cheap older replacement mobo/CPU and shut down this mobo for the time being. I don't really want to risk frying my ram or graphics card as they aren't high end but still cost money to replace.

I'll probably try to recap these two boards but I've never done this before so I'll do some shopping here locally...

Ok... my first post here so go easy please.

I had an Epox 8RDA3+ mobo with an Athlon XP 2500+ in a computer that I've used just for basic net surfing, playing music, Excel, Word etc. It was never really a gaming PC so it's always been good enough which is why I've never really upgraded.

Anyway... late last year it started getting sudden restarts and BSOD's and random error messages (that I can remember).

I didn't know what the problem was so I did a bit of online research and figured it must have been the mobo or CPU or PSU. I didn't want to spend...
