Re: Help, after recap problems

As an update...

I went ahead and replaced the original PSU and upgraded it to a 500W and put in a new 1Gig mid grade video card.
I have had no problems what so ever since I reset the bios. My computer is running well.

Re: Help, after recap problems

So the question is now... should I work on this PSU?

Re: Help, after recap problems

I owe you!! I have a new computer again!! I'm so happy!! I reset the BIOS and pulled the memory sticks out and put them in one at a time in each bank. Now they are both in and the computer is fast again. Thanks so much!! So I either didn't have the memory sticks seated or the Bios needed to be reset. Either way it works now!!

Re: Help, after recap problems

The caps I used I bought from badcaps.net. They are Nichicon, the old ones were TK (swollen), Ost and Teapo. The thearmal compound I used was Ceramique 2 from Arctic Silver.

Attached are pictures from my Ipod Touch, I know it is real grainy but I lost my good camera. I pulled the battery for the BIOS when I soldered so it should be reset. I also pulled the memory, CPU and heatsink before soldering. I ran the computer with no cards and used the onboard video. I did remove old and apply new thearmal wax to the CPU and heatsink. I got rid of all my spare parts so I really dont have anything to swap power supplies, CPUs or Memory sticks. The video card I used prior to the failure had the capacitors go and the vented. After...

I have recapped my MOBO and I now have new problems. Before I was able to POST and the computer would crash but when it was running it was running at the correct speed. Now after replacing all the caps that came in the pack of 24 (swollen and not swollen) my computer is so slow. I don't just mean 286 slow I mean real slow. I thought it wasn't working but it just took for ever to load. I went through and reloaded windows and wiped the drive. This has taken a week to get it done at this speed. But now I finally have it booting up to Windows Vista. There must be some problem. I don't know if I did...
