just found out why my Abit went to trash!

[awwwyeah206]

motherboards bought in 2002 have a fault due to corporate espionage..

maybe it was a blessing in disguise since I upgraded to the Epox 8RDA+

but still.. i spent countless hours trying to fix my machine

Just thought Id save some time for readers of this thread..

Its about the leaky capacitors again.

Good read.. I had a few boards go bad due to burst caps.. MSI had a HUGE failure rate due to this, with the K7T-Pro. Tey would not recognize the failure. :|

my KR7A-RAID now feels like a time bomb...

glad it's not my main machine anymore

REPOST but it is extremely valuable information for everyone to read so bump!

Is the Abit KT7A-RAID at risk? If so I need to tell my dad, that's the board I'm using.
