No leaky caps.....BUUUUUT....I've noticed a "sizzle" coming from the m/b two or three times now so I'm advising my buddy Giz to find a new m/b. I'll hook up another p/s just to make sure, but I'll put my money on a bad board in this case.

nihil....I'm an Asus/Abit type of guy myself, and if the m/b is the problem I'll be converting Giz to the same line of thinking. Thanks old chap.
