Hi,
Go for a new board! See my post about caps a few weeks back. This kind of
fault can be fixed, but I see no reason not to change a 5- or 6-year-old
mobo! OK, so you have to buy a new CPU & RAM to make it run, but you have a
fresh machine, good for another few years!
Regards,

Perhaps the "-E" version doesn't have any of those funky low-quality
capacitors that were around a couple of years ago.
For the rest of that story see www.badcaps.com
I'd take the -E version board in a heartbeat.
Presently fighting a running gun battle with EPOX to fix a bad MB as we
speak. If they don't come thru today I will forever be off their products.

If this is a warranty repair I'd have no problems taking the newer/better
board.
Otherwise, you can probably find a better deal than what the repair will
cost by just buying a new motherboard at newegg.com or similar outlet.
