I'd say that the capacitors are affecting the USB ports because they aren't supplying the correct amount of power to your USB ports. As to having the mobo last, it might, if it doesn't at least you will be under warranty for an RMA. since this seems to be recnt tho, it's hard to say if it's only a new batch of bad capacitors or if it's going to be a widespread problem.
(reminds me to check if the caps on my mobo are slowly going... old epox 8k7a)
