Yes I'd say that those are bad capacitors. this is the article that almost everybody has read about this issue http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY...eb03/ncap.html

and here is a link to a site that has some good info to look at if you think that you have bad capacitors http://www.badcaps.net/ident/

I'd say that you probably want to start looking out for a replacement mobo (or possibly checking with epox about an rma) because the capacitors that go first usually regulate the power and if they die, then you can lose a few components when it goes.
