It seems you fixed a broken Epox 8k3a motherboard by replacing some failed electrolytic capacitors. I also have an Epox 8k3a+, and I think the core voltage is fluctuating irratically (and causing the computer to crash) due to some defective capacitors near the CPU socket. I was wondering if you could email me or if we could discuss this on IRC. I want to replace some of these capacitors, but I'm not sure how I can check to see which ones are defective (other than inspecting them visually) and I'd appreciate any advice on the topic. Thanks in advance! <em>Titel's note: comment moved from another post, just to keep things tidy.</em> This comment is not related to the post it’s attached to, but I found an older post of yours through a Google search that interests me and I don’t have your email address.

I must check out the innards of my computer sometime, though your PC-equivalent of open-heart surgery is definitely not for me. Great post!
