I have swaped caps on a mobo myself and have had it done a few times sicne I no longer have the tools to do so. Gotten good results each time.

I will try to replace the caps if this is indeed the case. If it is already broke, why not?

Interesting thread!

If needed, I have an Asus M2NS-NVM/S doing nothing but floating around.

The PSU will be at my door in the morning. I will let ya all know if it fixes the problem. I have a feeling it is those caps on the MoBo.

If it is the MoBo, I will just upgrade it for the future....(tax returns are soon!)

You didn't hear me mention the Core i7-930!

And yes, it's an AMD+ motherboard in need of a job.
If you choose to upgrade however, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the performance lift.

That's the spirit Factor.

Well it wasn't the PSU. Computer is doing the same thing as before. So I assume it is the caps on the MoBo. Going to try and change the battery then rewire the power button, but......, whatever. lol.

I feel your frustration man. Been there. I too did the change this and that. I looked at the caps also to see if there was leakage or some crap. But it as my power button as I posted above. It is a pain in the arse no doubt!

Factor · 01-04-11, 03:51 PM

Yea, it is! lol.

Anyway, I am going to have it looked at by Intrex Computers, see if they can figure it out so I dont keep throwing parts in it.

Well after a few weeks of having the computer just sitting dead on the desk, I called Intrex to see how much it would cost to repair the mobo. They gave me a insane quote. So I did it myself.

I got a ASUS mobo to install. Since i was going to have the whole rig tore down, I decided it was a wise move to put in a new processor too.

So, from Tiger Direct i got a ASUS mobo and AMD phenom quad core processor.

Put the rig back together and it works! So it turns out I did have a fried mobo before.

Anyway, I cannot believe how FAST this rig is with the new cpu chip. I was using a 3800 single core. The difference is mind blowing. For example, SH5 was choppy with the old cpu, now, I am getting frames of 75 inside and out of the sub. About 30-40 near ports and land. (full detail. AA slider set at half way)

So I installed a new processor, new motherboard, new power supply, and upgraded the vid card last march with a nvidia 9800 gtx. Runs nice! The only original part is the tower, and ram. (Aspire Cruiser X tower, 4 gig Corsair ram)

I plan on upgrading the vid card again after i fry the current one i am using. Proberly within the year I would bet!

Nice I'm getting a GTX 560 Ti this weekend to replace my old 9800GTX+. The 9800GTX+ is amazing but I need more power for Shogun 2 Total War and more video RAM. It still could run Shogun 2 pretty decent even on high but it could bog down to less than 30 zooming all in a big fight sometimes.
