How old is the board? There were some huge recalls like 5 or so years
ago for a bad run of caps that got used in mobos and vid cards.

So my main computer was rebooting and giving me the BSOD (WinXP) and
finally tonight I spent about 4 hours trying to sort it out. Turns
out it was bad capacitors on the video card, worked fine in Safe Mode
but when trying to boot into full windows I kept getting the BSOD with
a video driver message. After more googling, some old post suggested
the caps on the board might be blown, shonuff 4 of the 8 caps on the
board are blown and puffed up. I'm gonna try to order some and see if
I can fix it just for the hell of it. Apparently this is a common
problem, they used cheap chinee crap for components to save 42cents on
the manufacture.
