ok, I just have to believe you ;)
MSI is one of the mobo vendors, which a history of cheap, failing capacitors.
Examining each capacitor with a good light and a magnifier is time consuming,
but a good reason, to ask for the warranty, if you find some.

The failing capacitors plagued quite a few manufacturers including IBM.
My Matsonic had that problem (MS8127C) I replaced all the caps on that
board and has been running great since (1.5yrs now) I borrowed a
Gigabyte mobo and the end result was the same. Tried a new cpu and voila
it just works. Two bad cpu's I would have never thought. The 1.2G
Athlon has been my test CPU for quite some time and finally it is
glitched. I replaced it with an AMD Athlon-xp 2600 and is now done with
the bootstrap and is compiling the system. By the way, A great many
mobo manufacturers bought those caps only to find the electrolyte
formula to be faulty thus breaking down, taking the mobo with it. There
was quite an article in just about every tech publication on this planet
explaining that fiasco.
Cheers.
