Take a real close look on you're mobo, if there a some pots in there which

The 'explosions' of the pods occures if a motherboard (the whole thing not
just the cpu) is exposed to temparatures above 45 degrees celsius for a long
time, ofcourse this depends on the quality of those pots (a hot summer with
your pc in a roof room is a good candidate).

This is interesting and useful information. I always wondered by the manuals state an operational temperature range of about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 45C = 113F


Of course, it wouldn't be that simple of a solution. :( The room is air conditioned to a much lower temperature. About 73F to 78F, most of the time. (About 25C.)
