Help my Athlon ... hes dying
...The story...
I have a old Athlon 500Mhz.. with the Epox 7KXA maindoard..512 Infineon localmem ( SDRam ) and a Ati radeon 9kpro128. One year ago all my caps ( 16x"Stone 2200uF -10V ) popped up. I replaced all with ( Jamicon 2200uF - 16V ). . One weak later I had to increase the CPU voltage from 1.65v to 1.85 just to get the processor running @ 500. In fact no CPU was running on default voltage! By increasing the CPU voltage ower 1.8V I got WERY low memory stability in fact the +33 option is a dream . Ok...ower the years I soldered alot on the board and I increased the mainboard voltage from 3.15V - "not bios voltage monitor!" to 3.7 and the Core voltage to 2.05V and the CPU runs @ 808Mhz. The problem is, that when increasing the CPU voltage, the memory gets unstable and by lowering the V under 1.95... no CPU bots. Oh and there is something else. The cable from the power supply is all black and burned ... the mainboard connector 2 ... where the 5V cables are. My VMonitor shows that 5V from ATX SW is dropped from 5V to 4.4V. I realy have problems and I liked my PC @ 850/100 +33 memory. Belive me.. I tryed every combination that is possible.. I badly need help making that voltage stable 4 the CPU and LOW 2 get the memory runnung @ FSB+33. What I tryed: -T1 Coling the MOSfets .. all 4 2 room temperature... -T2 Using only 256MB ram....> works better.. but no good en. -T3 Soldering 2 extra 4700uF 25V @ the backside of the board and soldered 2 extra 5V cables from UPS 2 them. I got the system V stable @4.7V... -T4 Bought a dual fan Chieftec 450W power supply, and tryed all hardware except mainboard on other PCs....works fine. Que.: -Q1: Can I solve this problem, by soldering more capacirots on the borad ore something. -Q2: where is the problem that thing shuld work better then the original. ................help!!!!!! |

(^^;?(I'm not familiar with chip level repairing.)
However, I suppose there must be due reasons to have so many the capasitor's heads poped up. Probably vrm modules whereabouts are corrupted, then extraordinary ampere is going to rush through. In any ways, Athlon is not so apt for clockup and likely to have heat, so that if you cannot finecome the circuit which is corrupted by tester and improve it, the board fall into very serious and dangerous condition in time. I think you'd better consider change the board, and that you would get used boards at more reasonable price than repairing cost and labour which you must pay to repair vrm modules. |

I'd guess the board and/or cpu are probably shot, as well as possibly the power supply, with all that overvolting and overclocking. Try new parts (and consider just buying some newer stuff, that hardware is so old its not worth spending time or money to make work)
