I had a spontaneous reboot problem with one of my previous computers, spent forever and a day trying to resolve it as a software issue and realized finally that it was leaking caps. Had the MOBO re-capped and everything was fine...
what the heck is a leaking cap as it pertains to computers?

I think he means that some motherboards had a problem with leaking capacitors due to cheap electrolyte which can cause several hardware problems like instability.

If this is the reason, you had to recap the mobo?

6:50 pm of day 2 of "the sieze". The server has been up and stable for 2 hours. Running backup with the quickness and hoping it goes. New server on order. Hopefully this backup ends in the next couple hours and I can go home. 32 gigs down, 60 to go.

Thanks for all the kind words and reading my griping.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

I just overhauled my computer, it's a toshiba satellite p25 that I had to scavenge some parts for (new CD drive and upgraded the ram to 1gb) it's running great now.
I'm starting a petition to cull narrowminded dull people - be afraid Peter, be very afraid....
