A7M266-D - blown capasitor?
Anders Frostad Pedersen schrieb:
I've got an asus A7M266-D board for amd MP processors. The board had been running fine for about a year, when after upgrading the cpu fans things went bad. What happens is that the pc stays powered on for about 3-4 seconds, then just turn itself off, without even booting into the BIOS or starting any system checks. (no beep codes) I stripped the pc down, and still the same error, ie. no faulty disks/ram/power supply (even swapped the psu). After taking out the mobo it seems like one of the capasitors has a "bulky" surface, kinda rised on the top. Along with that there is some brown substance on top of it. Might this be a leaky capasitor? This most certainly *is* one. I'd think this should be a case for an RMA, a cap shouldn't go bad after one year.
