If you notice any bad capacitors, insist they replace the board (or repair it, if they know how)

Some of those people just know how to swap parts and have no idea what a capacitor even is.

Worth a shot then i guess, altho odds are in favour of our PC being the problem

1129942 2010-12-16 22:05:00 If you change the motherboard then there is a fair chance you will need a new CPU and RAM as well. What is the current make and model of the current M/B?
