In the old days you could just look at the caps and find the one (or two) that look like a Dr. Pepper can that was left in the freezer too long an is "puffy". If there are only one or two and they are in a reasonably accessible locations, then replacement is an option. When hardware starts getting flaky, unless you are prepared for an extended deep-dive in electronics repair, it's probably time to just put it in the bone-pile and replace it with something that works. Your time is likely more valuable than the cost of replacement compared against the amount of time you will spend trying to sort out what happened. If memtest fails and a quick RAM swap doesn't fix the issue -- I think you have your answer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
