Re: dc7800 - motherboard bad capacitors

Last night i did pulled out some capacitors I`ve seen capacitors in worse condition but these are interesting too. Will post some funny pictures later on.

Hello,
I am interested if you could share your opinion if these capacitors (and circumstances) could be the cause of my motherboard malfunction. I have installed new more powerful graphic card and the motherboard went "dead" (fans spin on then go off, 4 short beeps then pause cycle).
After looking in more carefully i've noticed a dozen (13 - 470 uF 16V exactly) mildly cap and bottom bubbled and capacitors, some of them even show sign of leak.
Is it possible that the new more powerful card pulled a bit more power and helped them in their final breakdown.
