I wanted to do some overclock tests on an old win2k computer w. Pentenun 4.

I realised the computer had 2 burnt capicitors and threw an error on startup.

I cut out the 2 capicitors, and...

It statted properly.

Wut.

The.

Crag.

I just cut 2 capicitors from my mothervord and my computer is fixed.

Any risks I should know about before I kill myself.

nope, its an 9 year old computer. Computers where not made in China at that time. Either USA or Japan. But the capacitor hell error happens a lot with old motherboards. Those who do not know about it, spend 200$ on a new motherboard.

I once swapped parts in between my 1998 dell inspiron 7000 laptop and a alienware area 51 laptop just to see what would happen, and go figure- the old dell ran fallout3 just fine.
