Seti is down again
Gizbar:
Didn't realise that there were still motherboards out there suffering from 'BAD CAPS' still. Last board I had fail with that was an old Gigabyte one, back when I was running an Athlon XP CPU.
Unfortunately I didn't have the equipment at home to replace them, and it gave me an excuse to upgrade the system.
Glad you got yours sorted though! :)
[edit] They probably wouldn't go to the trouble to install/setup wine, just to run vista memory checker, even if they have a copy of vista lying around, which they probably don't! I've never had a problem with memtest, but I normally use memtest+ now, which can be run off a bootable cd/usb stick. I've never tried to run it off a bootable memstick though. [/edit]

A front page update, for those suffering withdrawal symptoms:

The database is being backed up now. When that has completed, we can bring the web site and forums up.

Well it's not a ridiculously old board.. only two generations old. It's a K8, but it's a socket 754 board. I got it almost four years ago just before newegg quit selling s754 boards. Needed an office workstation, so $300 in parts built an entire machine.
Newer boards still have caps, but they're the small compact ones, and the high quality Japanese caps that basically don't ever go bad, so "bad cap" replacement is likely nowhere near common anymore.
