Default Epox EP-8K3A+ Mobo

Hi

I am having a problem with this board and rec'd it as dead.

The board will power up but issues an alarm as with a memory
error. Further investigations found the first memory slot to
be faulty and I removed this (with a great deal of difficulty)
with a view to installing a better (molex) ram slot than the
cheapo that was formerly there.

Unfortunately, I have noticed a number of what I believe to
bypass caps on the RAM slot are missing. These are;
CB127 and CB225

As I do not know the values of these, for the purpose of
replacing same, can somebody supply the device values
if possible?

Any help, greatly appreciated - thx

I have four Epox 8K7A boards that all show memory errors, such as C1. They are all fixed by recapping the board.

Thanks for responding

I will do that with all the electrolytics as a matter of course.
All the electrolytics are made by GSC and are coloured green.
Are these known to be bad caps?

Can you help with the values of the very small SMT capacitors
I have referred to further?

Thanks again
