Re: Bad chemicons (?) in XC cube?

Well I think I'm opting for software issue with this one. No visible leakage, not a known badcap and so I guess this was screaming wolf. Some Rubycons around the board as well, scared me though to see all those bent caps!

Appreciate the advice, this is a pretty amazing site.

Have a nice day!

Having a little difficulty making up my mind about this one. Completely new with this badcaps business as well.

The patient is an about 1 year old Aopen XC cube EZ-18 -110.

Slight stability problems with hangs, reportedly using google picasa. Getting a fairly good impression using the machine, snappy performer in XP, no "thinking pauses", error messages in the event viewer and the crashes need not be related. Box maybe run a little hot, and the cpu cooler fan which these are stacked around was I'd say 50 when opening the box. Maybe up to 60 there but cooling...
