Re: Motherboard Dead?

Oh also, when the PC is on, those little battery type towers on the motherboard get extremely hot compared to the other ones away from the RAM area
Is this motherboard in a case?
Do the capacitors look like they have swollen tops or leaking?

Those capacitors should not be getting that hot this indicates a case short so bench test it.
