No, certainly not.  But there has sure been a regular pandemic of bad
capacitors plagueing many of the motherboard makers over the last say,
3-4 years.  Seemingly runs in batches.  We've had to replace most of
them on the biostars from about 3-4 years ago for instance.  But the
biostar in this machine is healthy as yet.  Its only about 2 years old,
so that knocking sound you hear is me, knocking on wood..
