Found the source of a very loud bang that we heard the other night – popping capacitors. We needed to borrow a SATA cable from the PC and when I booted up the PC it was throwing BIOS errors. Upon checking the hardware I found these on the video card *sobs*. Second video card that my PC has fried. Thankfully, I’ve managed to get the PC up and running with no video card installed as it’s my file server.
