#Bochs bsod installing windows 10 code#

If so, try to reboot it a few times and see if you keep getting the same code (the hex code, all you need is the first series of hex 0x000000F3 for example). The first thing I would check is to see if Windows (I am assuming you are using windows) gives you any BSOD Codes (Blue Screen Of Death), you can disable automatic restart upon failure from the advanced boot menu. it is possible, but I would be looking into other things first. the capacitors failing are fairly unlikely.

I will be agreeing with steve on this one, just based from what you are saying. I am an enthusiastic novice and I am even willing to ruin the board if I can learn alot from the experience. It was a few months ago.ģ) Is there anyway to look up if a Gateway mt 6460 should have 3 capacitors in all three slots for a 31MA3MB00B1 motherboard?Īny help at all would be so much appreciated. It's my sister's machine and she's not sure sure if a part ever fell out when she opened it after it broke. My guess is there used to be a capacitor soldered to the top of the two aluminum plates because of faints scratches on them, but I don't want to risk soldering one on there unless I'm absolutely sure there should be one there. I know this particular board is used for multiple notebooks, so obviously I don't know if there should be a third capacitor there or not. Do laptop capacitors just solder to the top? so I am guessing power capacitors.Ģ) capacitors on a desktop have pins you stick into the hole and solder in.

Looking at this blurry picture (I can't get a good pic).ġ) are those power capacitors (the three columns of components with one missing in the upper right corner)? They are labeled pc234, pc 265, pc 266. None of the components on this board have any visible signs of damage. I have never repaired a laptop computer before, only desktops.Īnyway, this motherboard has all signs of a bad capacitor (I can give all the details upon request, basically reboot loop with no post).
