No, certainly not. But there has sure been a regular pandemic of bad capacitors plagueing many of the motherboard makers over the last say, 3-4 years. Seemingly runs in batches. We've had to replace most of them on the biostars from about 3-4 years ago for instance. But the biostar in this machine is healthy as yet. Its only about 2 years old, so that knocking sound you hear is me, knocking on wood.. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
