I just wanted to follow up on the brief discussion at the March meeting regarding faulty motherboard capacitors and the related system instabilities.
I have an info page set up on my site at http://www.tecnopolis.ca/tecnopolis/leakycaps.html where I detail the symptoms, the cause, and the repair service I provide. Anyone who's good with a soldering gun should be able to pull off the repair themselves.
This may help out anyone who has a board (and brand) from 2001-2002 that is doing weird things and provide a possible solution without requiring a whole new board/CPU/RAM purchase and consequent OS reinstall.
