That means the PSU caps are overwhelmed and might

Yes. All motherboards I've seen with failed caps in the processor
voltage regulator cct have also had failing caps in the PSU.

Replacing the PSU as well as recapping the board is what makes repair
uneconomic.




I don't see that combination of failures in the PCs I rebuild. Power
supplies are usually easier to recap than a motherboard. Good 105C low
ESR caps are cheap in quantity. Jeff posted one link. Here are some
others that I've bought from:
