Re: Need Suggestions - Dell Dimension 9200

So I had a friend of mine replace the 2 caps and so far the computer has been running great for 2 days now. Before it would just power itself off after 2-3 minutes so hopefully it was only these 2 caps, but I guess only time will tell now. Thanks everyone

Re: Need Suggestions - Dell Dimension 9200

Any comments at all?

My Dimension has always been on a UPC battery backup. For the past couple of months the fan on the power supply has been making noises and then going away so I would clean it out with air and then it would be fine. We went away on a trip and came back and power was lost to the entire house but the computer was still running but it was froze at the login screen.
I rebooted it and the USB ports would work during post but would not work inside of Windows 7 and it would power itself off after about 2 minutes. I removed all of the PCI cards and it would stay running a bit longer then power itself...
