Don't take the slightest notice of Mainlander he doesn't know what he's talking about. 1. You need to test the ESR of the mobo caps. 2. If bulging replace 'em regardless. 3. faulty mobo caps are a global phenominon. 4. Unsolder them and replace them, be sure to use 105 degree caps. Every mobo I have ever installed has had at least 1 out-of-spec electrolytic capacitor onboard. I never install a new mobo without 1st checking them. Electronics World published an article about this topic some time back. Peter Lowrie
