About 6 months ago, after about 4 years of use, my computer just wouldn't turn on anymore.
I tested all components and they all worked, so the mobo (intel D845GVSR I think) must've failed, I suspected bad caps but could not see any indication of damage, I just put that motherboard away and used another computer.
Recently I was just cleaning and came upon this mobo again, I gave it a quick inpection and this time I could clearly see a row of 6 bulging caps.
So now I'm trying to replace the bad caps, I would really like to continue using this computer.
