Re: SL-75FRN2-L mem errors after recapping

Boy!! I realized that the video card was missing a small capacitor. I replaced it and got over 900 errors. I cleared the bios tried again same story. So then I lower the freq of the ram to match the FSB of the CPU (333Mhz), BAM!!!!!!!!! It ran MEMTEST with no errors. I seems like the generic ram was the problem. At least the mobo has new caps, now all I have to do is sell or return the board that I ordered (XFX Nforce2 Ultra).

Re: SolTek SL-75FRN2

Well I replaced all the capacitors and added the missing cap on my VGA card, the result??? 96 errors at Test 8 [Modulo 20, ones&zeros] in MemTest86. I'll test the vga card tomorrow in another PC. I hope, really hope its not the CPU or the VGA card.

Re: SolTek SL-75FRN2

I just realized that my vga card was missing a small cap (5.5uF). I replaced it at work, lets hopes this is it. I also realized that the 1500uF caps on the soltek board were made by Sanyo, but I went ahead and replaced them anyways. Those caps were not domed but they had some kind of residual corrosion on top, like some white stuff.

Re: SolTek SL-75FRN2

Ok I tested the RAM with another PC, no errors. I also tested the Soltek board with another PSU (brand new) and I got even more errors!!! Right now I'm changing two of the 1500uF which are in upper left of the socket. There are two more 1500uF by the left side of the socket, but I dont have any more parts. The cheapstakes at Soltek only include one 1500uF cap in their repair kit while the board has 4 of those. I'll test the board again tonite.

Re: SL-75FRN2-L mem errors after recapping

This might also sound like a stupid question but how long should i let memtest86 run? I let it go to 100% but after that it goes back to zero and runs some other tests

Re: SL-75FRN2-L mem errors after recapping

I replaced all capacitors given in the kit, all but one I cant remember the uF, but it was the thickest cap of the pack. I'll replace it tomorrow. How likely is it that the PSU is also bad?

Re: SL-75FRN2-L mem errors after recapping

I did noticed one thing, normally before when everything was ok, even if the CPU fan wasnt on (I have a SLK800 hS) , the PC would be stable for quite a bit of time. Now If the fan is not running it reboots like crazy. I also had to plug the cpu fan in an independent PSU line because for some reason, it wouldnt run at all if it shared the line with other components. I'll check the RAM when I get home.

SL-75FRN2-L mem errors after recapping

Question guys, I replaced the leaking capacitors in my soltek board, however everytime I run memtest86, it gives me 13 errors. I suspect the PSU at this point. That would really suck because I spent $90 for it. Any Ideas about what it could be? I'll check the caps again.
