hi all i bought a GIGABYTE GeForce GTS 250 1GB vga card 1 year ago it worked so good and preformed well i have played so many games in it with all set to high settings and never had a freeze or low frame rate or any other performance problem i these are few of my games with i played recently with no problem battle field bad company 2,metro,mass effect 2 ,command and conquer 4,saboteur etc etc
but few days back my computer suddenly stooped working with no display so i cheek the pc and fund that my card fan is not running so i unplugged the card and se what happen than i saw one of the smd capacitor is blown up
now i have some questions and want to know and understand what went wrong i am a noob in electronic stuffs
1 - what do this small capacitors do(smd capacitor) i mean what is ther job
2 - what can cause a capacitor like this to blow
3 - will the damage stops from that blown up part or it might also damaged other parts
is there a way to fix this type of damages( in some of the fixing guide its saws the damage is caused by human fault so u know exactly if we change that thing it will work but in my case its deference hope u understand my problem)
i have atched the images for your verification
Thanks
