Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000'

I work in a small office and about 1 year ago everyone in the office received new
custom built computers. All of the computers were built by the same company at the
same time and all are networked together and 3 are using XP and 7 are using 2000
OS's. Recently one of the PC's just started to randomly reboot. Shortly after another
began to randomly reboot, then another and last week another. On the 1st PC we changed
the PSU, moved the ram and checked system log for errors and all is believed to be
okay. The manufacturer just says bad motherboard on all systems. Could this be?
Last week while the last computer randomly rebooted it crashed one of the files
on the database. Can anyone help me? Is my computer in danger of this as well ?

It's possible. Abit at one time had a series of bad capacitors which required motherboard
replacements. Check the capacitors on your board. The tops of bad ones ooze a nice
brown syrup. Easy to spot. It will cause the problems you describe.

You're too right....in fact....just about every mobo manufacturer aronud bought
bad cap's from the company that made them. IBM is still replacing system boards
that have those cap's on them. They don't always ooze anything though. You can
tell if they're bad if the tops of them are "popped" as well. By "popped" I mean
bulged and rounded. The top of a good cap is supposed to be flat.
