There are at most 10 of them. If the capacitors have a flat top head they are ok. If their top head is curved upwards and it looks as if something leaked from within, then your motherboard is not stabilizing the voltage at the levels it should and all components get incorrect voltage. Time to change a mobo. Always remember that the most unusual/impossible problems come from hardware related issues, this is a proven fact. -- RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens ----------------------------------------- Thanasis Rizoulis Electronic Computing Systems Engineer Larissa, Greece Linux User #358384
