Blown 7811 Mobo

As the title states... found a capacitor blown on the motherboard by the GPU, too tiny and difficult for me to replace. Issues Im having are display crashes, and freezing with artifacting all over the screen. If I leave the computer flat and am very gentle, it doesnt do it. If anyone knows a fix for this, or knows where I can get a new motherboard for a resonable price, please let me know, I need to get this thing fixed.

 

This sounds like something you would want to fix. Did you overvolt your GPU, or is this even something that overvolting would cause?

 

bone stock... its one of the tiny ity bitty ones, I dont even know the value of the one that popped. Im probably just gonna replace the board.

 

Well, incase anyone here can help... I have a P-7811 FX with windows 7 64-bit. The computer runs fine when on a desktop and not moved... but whenever its moved, or you press on the bottom, I get colors and artifacts and the computer freezes, occasionally it recovers and runs again, but will crash again later. Anyone know a fix? It also displays colors and doesnt post occasionally. I found what looks like a blown cap, but if there is a fix let me know. running .17 bios. latest nvidia drivers. Problem was sudden

 

I'd have to say that graphic card could be the likely culprit here if your having issues with POST. Since you said your having issues with display, POST issues can be related to graphic and memory. Even if that was occasional in your case.
