    is this a dying mobo ?

    Hi Folks

    I had this mainboard and it seems like it is dying ? :

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157198

    Recently, I added a new (2nd hdd) Hitachi sata 3.0 with another already installed hitachi sata 2.0 hdd. Now, the machine seems to be hanging randomly. I tried doing so many things for three days ..... but in vain.

    I noticed some leaks ? on the mainboard. I have taken a pic of it and hope you can confirm if the mainboard has issues :



    I have circled at two points but you can see there are more leaks in the lower left side of the pic.

    The Computer messed up my life, did it yours too

    I don't like the look of it, whatever it is it is bridging the tracks, which is unlikely to do any good

    is it getting overheated which led to such leaks ? what are those points - some chip ? or just solder ?

    The two capacitors are raised off the surface of the mobo.
    May have been caused by overheating and/or power fluctuations.
    Cheers.
