The reason that all the capacitors seem to blow at the same time is because of the capcitors themselves. The large capcaitors are used for voltage regulation and when these go, I'm guessing that it causes a chain reaction.

This is a theory from various threads/stories about blown caps. I'm thinking that this is about as close to an explanation as anything else that you can come up with.
