O.K. I'm aware of the debate between aqueous vs nonaqueous caps, but how do I determine if a cap is or isn't? More specificly Panny FJ,FK,FL and Ruby ZLH.
I haven't noticted it listed on data sheets, or am I just blind? Thanks.

Re: VIA P4PB400 Recap Failure
Hi Paul, Welcome aboard.
The caps I used were Panasonic Fm series electrolytics. I replaced everything 1000uF and above. I've been a Tech for years but this was my first recap. Just some advice, read the recap procedure by Willawake. It's excellent! I got my caps from Digikey. 40 of them. It took me forever, ( 6-8hrs ),but it was my first and I didn't want any mistakes.Was actually quite fun. I put together a $25.00 min order, but I actually have less than $20.00 in it. Goodluck, take your time and have fun.

Re: VIA P4PB400 Recap Failure
StarFury1-Thanks for your thourogh reply. I believe this board was part of a bulk buyout. I bought 2@20.00 ea. Boards "looked" great, have a ton of features, and the price was right.( Or so I thought). Then I started having BSOD's, freezes. random blank screens and so forth.Anyway I learned of the cap problem from Badcaps,researched, and recapped with Panny FM's. But now I feel like a dummy. Following your advice I checked everything but lastly replaced all 3 sticks of ram and wouldn't you know it seems to be behaving now. The sad thing is...

Spaced- Ohio's not so bad.Where else can you have all 4 seasons in the same month? I don"t have an ESR meter,Just a DMM.
Per-
As for the PSU, it's a Sparkle 300W with Capxon brand caps. Less than a year old but no signs of leakage on the caps

VIA P4PB400 Recap Failure
Hey Guys, First I want to thank all of you for the excellent info on this site.
This is my first post but I've lurked here for awhile. I have a P4PB400 that I purchased from a surplus vendor that was full of GSC craps. Following the info here I replaced everything 1000uF and up.(40 capacitors) On first boot, it POST'ed perfectly and has been flawless for about 3 weeks. Now I'm getting random freezes and it may take 3-10 reboots to get it up.Although I've been a tech for 20+ years motherboards are new to me. Especially without a schematic.
There are a few small caps I didn't replace...
