Jackie.............. possible sore spot ?
<I am a IT Specialist with IHS/DHHS and I have replaced over 180
motherboards with the bloating or leaky capacitors. Model(s) in question
are the Dell GX270 Optiplex (all form factors) and less on the GX 280's.
Symptoms were like the computer went into hibernating/powersave, you
would have to restart; some would restart repeatedly; some would go
black screen twice a day or once every two or three days. All would go
to black screen. It was very frustrating troubleshooting each one until
Dell admitted to a capacitor problem on mainboards manufactered before a
certain date.
