Hello all, my first post here.
I have a 10-year old Gigabyte K8NS Pro motherboard that suddenly keeps shutting down on its own. Even when it's booting up and still in its BIOS, it will shutdown. It will do the same at any time in Windows XP (32). I've tried everything including different memory, new power supply, disconnecting devices, reinstalling the mobo on and on.
My guess is that it could be some of the capacitors, although none appear bad visually. My question is how and where can I purchase the proper capacitor kit for this motherboard? If there is no kit available, which capacitors do I buy, how many of each and from where?
Or, should I send the computer out for repair and if so, who does capacitor replacement and general trouble shooting?
Could the problem be something other than the capacitors?
It's a great motherboard and I don't want to have to start all over from scratch with all of my programs by purchasing a different board. Can't seem to locate an identical board out there. Anyone have one for sale?
Thanks for your help.
