Actually, he might have had the same problems I have had (I have had
capacitors blown on two motherboards). The first time, I forgot to
read the documentation and inserted a processor into a motherboard it
wasn't approved for (if you care, I inserted a Athlon XP processor into
an Athlon motherboard). The second time this happened, my best guess
was that a short occurred because of the massive amounts of dust that
collected inside the case. In both cases, the only damage done was to
my pride, pocketbook, and motherboard.
