here it is:
i shutdown the pc last night, today i boot up and gave me some problems. i pressed the button again and again until it turned on but than it started blinking. i did a lot of research (on the web), checked ram, cpu, psu (even burned my coolermaster 550w by changing it to 115w setting and mistakingly forgot to change it back), now im damn sure that its the mobo; cause it was kinda wet and i read an article that proved that it was the mobo not the psu or anything else. this is the second time this has happened and the last time it started working itself and now it doesnt seem to get back. im giving the mobo in for warranty claim tomorrow (today is sunday) but still ill appreciate if you can tell me what really goes off? sometimes when i boot it in the morning, the power led stays on for a couple of minutes before actual boot up

pc is: pentium d 3.4ghz, 1gb ram, 250gb sata seagate, intel d945gnt board, asus dvdrom (sucks, slows the pc to a p2's speed when im reading data from it) and a burnt coolermaster 550w xtremem psu (now im using come un-named chinese manufactured (works perfect!) 300w psu) and an asus case (not a vento its just a normal steel made bitch-ass case which bends wehn i put my fingers on it!)

need anymore info, ask me
thanks

Hi,

Since its the capacitors and not the cat (dog), then your motherboard is gone.

You will need to replace it, and probably the RAM stick(s) and CPU as well, because of incompatibility with new boards. Of course if you can get a new board of the same model as your current one then your fine.

If it was Dell that sold you the machine than you can get an RMA and return the mobo and get a new one for free. With other vendors YMMV

Hi,

I was dead serious about the cat (dog) thing. I've seen it and had to repair the damage.

and about that cat/dog thing, not possible, it's kinda stuck inside the table, and i don't have any pets
thanks to all of you again :)
