My mom's computer is freezing occasionally and shutting off at random intervals. At least once a day she has issues. I took a look inside and there's one capacitor on her board right by the processor that looks like it's corroded at the top. It's only a very little bit, but enough to notice if you know what you're looking for.
The only other time I ran into this issue, there were a TON of capacitors on the motherboard that were busted open at the top and corroded.
Is just a little bit of a corroded cap enough to cause the issues I'm seeing? I'm willing to bet yes - but I'm poor and want some more confirmation before I drop money on ebay for a new board for the parental unit.
