Hi I have found out why my computer wont start, its due to the Capacitor melting next to my processor, if i replace the Capacitor my computer should work again right.
Does anybody know of motherboard plus processor deals if so could you tell me were.

www.ebuyer.com is about the ebst on prie in the UK.

Moving to Consumers forum for you.

tried ebuyer found some but i really need to know if the old motherboard can be fixed

If it melted due to the heat from the CPU/heatsink or a short with the case and you replace it then it should work. This is unlikely though, as it is much more common for a fault somewhere else on the board to cause a component to burn out.

Try replacing the capacitor, it shouldn't cost you more than a few pence to get a new one.

If on the other hand you are going to have to pay someone to replace it you would be better off getting a new board.

abit had problems with some early boards, can't remeber the model but replacing the offending capacitors made the board better than it was before, can you post a pic of the capacitors lance?
