GF4 TI4200 Caps.
looks like a couple of caps on my brother's vga card just blew. BF1942 was randomly giving him blank screens in the middle of gameplay.

i am posting this as a kind of "watch out" for this type of problem.
the card still works, but just not at intense levels.
the card was a Gainward Powerpack.

just ordered a new sapphire 9600pro 128mb to replace. finally i have a good excuse to clean out his computer, because you know how little brothers are...

A chance to install FAH on it too, perhaps?

Sorry about the card though.

Bruddah, one more uncertainty about hardware. I wonder if OCing and the comcomitant extra heat makes any difference in the longevity of glop-filled capacitors?

If you never learn anything else about electronics, learn this. HEAT IS THE ENEMY!

A rule of thumb I used to use back when I was designing power supplies for monitors is that every 10C cuts the device life in half. Reality wasn't quite that bad, but you get the idea.
