motherboard manufactures in the last 3-4 years have had capacitor problems,
some reached the point of leaking others began to cause problems on the
machine after they began to swell. Both Dell and IBM have replaced systems I
know of and had the onsite techs check for swollen or leaking capacitors.

The motherboard's capacitor? What is that? Since there are probably
a<BR>> hundred or more caps on the MB, how did you determine that? Was it
burned? <BR>> Other than that, without making either capacitance or noise
