Hi guys,
I've posted before about the random BSODs I was having, and today I've solved half of the mystery. My previous motherboard, the Epox 8k3a, was indeed causing the problems, and it is in turn caused by bad capacitors. I can clearly see the brown/yellow stuff that are on two bulging capacitors of the mobo. This is a known problem with many mobos, due to the capacitor's (or the stuff inside it) formula was faulty. For more info, visit: http://www.badcaps.net/
Right now I'm still having trouble with flashing screen and BSODs with the new mobo. Seems like it doesn't like any version of Nvidia drivers. As long as I run the comp w/o them, it's rock stable. With them,it flashes and shut down whenever it feels like. I hope I can see the end of this one day.
