Well my main flightsim PC has decided to stop working. It's been giving me problems for the last month or so...

Thats the end of me flight simming till I can afford a new PC.

Bad new Jimm

...Sorry to hear that.

I thought you had just had some sort of new system??

It was a barebones system with just the motherboard, PSU and case.

Had to add all of the other parts to make everything work.

Sorry to hear of your PC trauma, Jimm.

But as Garry says, list your PC specs along with the problems you have encountered and I'm sure that the knowledge held by the forum members can come up with a solution.

Regards

Kevin

Haven't really had much time to look into whats going on as such.

Put in a different PSU and it will not boot at all. Looks like it could be the motherboard.

Yeah OK, but what problems were you getting over the past few weeks??

Looks like a capacitor on the board has bulged and started leaking.
