It sounds like it's beyond repair then. If it's run too long with bad
caps it will damage other parts on the motherboard. Unless it's
something obvious like an overheated resistor, there's no practical
way to fix it.

The first thing to check is that the capacitor replacement was done
properly -- polarities were honored, no solder bridges were created
where they didn't belong, the board wasn't shorted when it was put
back in the case, etc.

Then debug as if it were a new motherboard. Start with nothing more
than is necessary installed (e.g. just a video card and some memory).

Since it was out of the case, something else may have been disturbed.
