shit I read about this in Maximum PC

look at the capacitors of the motherboard if it looks like one of them is warped, then sorry, you'll have to go back to the Makers

Apparently earlier this year a production of capacitors was shipped to various Mobo Makers, those caps. were made with bad electrolyte, so even if the mobo is new, it could still fail

the main probelm was, it was not tracked by the Cap. Makers, nor by the Mobo Makers, so they really cant put out a recall... just a warning, and they'll replace bad ones, but this could be a probelm for a long time
