- ok. My computer has a bad capictor on the motherboard. It's leaking something. My friend said it would be hard to replace since it has to connect with 6 boards at once. It's not loading some programs that it needs. So he says to replace the whole mother board. I am using a loaner he had right now. Not very good either. Slow processor.

Clarification Request

I am comming into the middel of this.
But if you have a Bad Cap on the motherboard, eiather blown or crowned, forget replacing the CPU.
Eiather replace the cap or the motherboard.
You will be just waisting money on replacing the CPU.
P.S. if you have 1 bad cap on the board, you have atleast 2 or 3 others that should be changed as well.
Most of the caps on the board somewhat run in series.
Good luck.

If you are changing the Power Supply, the voltage change will not mess up things, but it should be compatible with your motherboard (AT/ATX).
