re: #192 thedopefishlives

All the classic signs of a capacitor blowing somewhere.

My son’s computer suddenly stopped on him on the hottest day of this summer. I thought it was the PS and ordered a replacement. It arrives and no joy. Something had died on the mobo. Returned the PS, replaced the Mobo with a duplicate of the one I’d built his system with, swapped everything else and zoom, just like before. Heat toasted a capacitor somewhere and all it takes is one.

Just glad it wasn’t the CPU that got hosed by the heat.
