SO here is the situation.  I just built my new comp and now my old one isnt functiong correctly.  I powered it on and nothing at all displays on the screen...  I figure i forgot to plug something in while i was moving some components from my old comp to my new one.  So I hold down the power button to turn it off.  To my surprise the comp shuts down for about half a second THEN turns itself back on.... wtf?  So, now i have to turn off my comp wiht the powerswitch on my PSU.  Then i notice something bad also....

UH OH leaky capacitors.  Might be the cause of the problem might not.  I decide to ask my friend to borrow his mobo to see if the caps are the problem.  so im setting up all my stuff on my table and im taking out my processor and i wipe the AS5 grease off and i find this:

SO the chipped processor core could be the problem.  (most likely...) But I decide to test with a new mobo anyway and i take my PSU out of my old mobo and notice THIS:

I have no idea how this was caused.  Maybe the burn out PSU cable was directly linked to the leaking capacitors.  And some more other information... I was taking off a fleece sweatshirt the other day and got super-charged with static and touched my comp case and totally electrocuted the whole machine, it turned off immedately.  (I had to unplug and replug the power cable to get it to boot again, probably the internal circuit breaker)  The fleece incident could also be a factor to the death of my comptuer.

what do you guys think?
