the 1 with the tan stuff means the cap is leaking like a battery does. get a new board or replace those caps.

Thats great now what is the cheapest option I can go without having to get a new system with vista. I'm not even sure where or who can do caps.

Options:

1. Get identical capacitors and solder them in yourself
2. Get a PC repair shop or electronic technician to do it
3. Buy a replacement motherboard of the same type.
4. Replace the CPU, Mobo and RAM and consider it an upgrade.

If not 1, 2 but only if it's cheap. If it'll cost a lot, go straight to 3. If you can't do 3, then 4.

i can replace the caps but doubt you live in ontario, canada. take the board or computer to a tv/radio repair place as they can replace the caps. talk to them 1st tho before doing it.
