EVGA 7300gt.
I was looking around a found it had a Blown capacitor( hole in K symbol in the top),and the goodies(whatever is inside the cap.) are oozing out. The computer seemed to run fine with the capacitor in this condition. I removed the card and am now running on a (Geforce 6100 ON board) that came with the computer.My question... What could have caused the capacitor to go down the drain(no other visible DAMAGE)Im thinking no enough power?(previous had a 180W power supply)I now have a Dynex 400W ( I needed one anyway).I do not belive it overheated.bad luck I guess- if anything I'd suspect overvoltage to cause the problem. Of course, if you have any soldering skills and a similiar rated capacitor, you could try your luck replacing it (the capacitor). It's was probably best to remove it, it would be bound to fail at the worst POSSIBLE moment.So might I be able to steal a similar capacitor from another device I dont use and stick it on?(I know someone who could do it)
If you MAKE SURE they have the same rating, it's possible.If it is DONE incorrectly, would It damage the computer? or just the cardHonestly, I don't know- but usually when a card fails it doesn't bring the computer down with it. If the wrong rating was used, or it was done wrong- it would likely just be as if the card failed.

If possible you could test the card in a junk machine first, before putting it back in.Ill see what I can do
