Perhaps surprisingly, systems of that age *can* fairly literally rot.
There were a number of Taiwanese electrolytic capacitor manufacturers
that "borrowed" a partial recipe from a Japanese company: One that was
unfortunately missing an important component that kept the paste from
eating the capacitor from inside out. It often initially manifested as
system instability.

I lost a couple of motherboards to it.
