PSU or Mobo problem?

[Mr_Rabies]

if they're bulging or leaking the board's pretty reasonably screwed
you could potentially replace the caps but that's unlikely to really fix things in the long term

I haven't seen a psu fry a board in years. 99% of the time things like this come up it is the psu. Listen to Dmaul. He knows his shit.

I didn't say the PSU fried the board. And I've been doing this longer than dmaul.

PS - now that you mention it is Epox, run, run away now. Every epox board I have EVER owned (3 or 4) had some significant malfunction. Fuck epox.

Do you have friends? do any of them own computers? Pulling out a PSU is not a big deal.
