I came home from my buddy's college today to find my computer off. I thought someone in my house turned it off but when I turned it back on I got 1 long beep and 3 short beeps. I later found out it was a missing video card. I tried to re-seat the video card, no luck. I then took it out and looked and found 6 out 10 capacitors were blown. Does anyone know why this would possibly happen? Would it be the power supply, or just a bad card? I have had the computer for about a year and a half with no problems. Any idea's what happened and/or what I should do?
 
im guesing the psu...i had a capacitor blow right next to my ear last night scared me to death sounded like a gun shot...u shure some one wasn't messing with your rig
