Take apart the PSU and see what is going on inside, maybe it has blown caps as well, had that happen on a machine as well. PSU caps blew, and so did the caps on the board. I repaired numorus bad cap mobos before, as a matter of fact, the Epic Epson that I use for control had two bad caps, so I just replaced ALL them on the board!! And it is obvously it is repaired.

@nathanallan1 don't know. it is the one that came in the dell 8200. it's alright though. don't think it would be worth doing that. i would like to find a motherboard a few years old and build a computer though. maybe be able to get the amd athlon x2 black edition 7750. guess see what used parts they have at a computer store when i have the money and stuff.

Your sound cuts out if you zoom. My mom has a very similar computer.

@james42519 It might, what motherboard do you have? I can see if it is going to match up to your board. Maybe a trade is in order.

@nathanallan1 meant to say 768 MB ram BTW. yeah nothing special but it is double the speed as mine at least. hmm wonder if that would work in mine. only stuff i can find thrown out here is P2 computers it seems and those are not easy to find too.

@linuxlove4004 oh, I didn't the person that ditched it did. Here's one they couldn't fix.
Based on their position, those are apparently the Vcore output caps, so I don't think the PSU took them out. The PSU would have killed the input caps, which appear to be fine (or at least they look that way in the video).

@yorgle11 This is the 2nd pc that's come to me like this, and the third one that dies was my own that it happened to. I am reexamining why they got blown. I think they were just bad caps.

I doubt the powersupply took out the caps. I have worked on many computers that have bad caps on the board but the powersupply still works. Usually they use cheaper caps on the systemboard then in the powersupply. So I would not rule out the powersupply as the cause.

@chrisstv1979 Right, I think this is a victim of just bad caps. Not the power supply (though it's probably bad, too, it's cheap).
