Before this would started, the night before I comp would just freeze and I would have to restart it. It did this a few times then the next morning I chouldnt even get the comp to come on. The screen just says "self test, check signal cable and pc, monitor ok". It came on a few times before freezing again and i would get the blue screen. I tried changing monitors and i tried changing videocards.
take a look at the motherboard at the can shaped objects that are capacitorsthat should be flat topped not domed.
No, the cylindrical capacitors have coloured sides (e.g. blue or green) and have a silver top. This should be flat. If it bends upwards like a dome effect, they're damaged. This is attributable to a fair few hardware problems.
it is fixable if you have a soldering iron & replacement capacitors of the same value. fixed a # of boards & psu's because of bad capacitors.
It would technically be fixable in that manner, but unless you can get the exact same capacitors and are good at soldering, I'd avoid it.
