| 1133614 | 2010-09-01 02:09:00 | Hi all, Just replaced bulging & leaking caps on a Packard Bell with Gigabyte mobo as my other thread explained. Everything started up OK and got through to the desktop without problems. Programs started to load and "bang" reset again without warning. No error messages, just recycles to the welcome screen again. I've put an Ubuntu disc in and its running a memtest now but I'm starting to wonder whether it may be the HD going out .... Maxtor (can't remember size). Can anyone tell me if there's as checkdisc facility on the Ubuntu disc ? Any other suggestions as to what the problem may be would be appreciated. No boat anchor jokes please ..... I'm too close to doing that now ! |

| 1133618 | 2010-09-01 03:24:00 | sounds like its checking for disk errors | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1133619 | 2010-09-01 03:29:00 | Correct Speedy .... but do you have any idea what the files mentioned are and whether they would cause the problem describes .... and what caused the problem in the first place. | SP8's (9836) | ||

| 1133621 | 2010-09-01 04:14:00 | May have heaps of errors. Wait for it to finish | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1133622 | 2010-09-01 08:47:00 | Check the PSU for bad caps as well. After all, they're just as old as the mobo caps. Include also a scan of any caps on the graphics card and any other peripherals. |

I would 2nd that. I had an old computer which was playing up, I replaced the graphics card, which appeared to be fine, and then everything was OK.. Maybe try it with another PSU? |
