I have MSI P965 NEO motherboard which is not working OK. When I received it there was couple bad OST capacitors which I replaced, those were located here and there. The board does power up each time and you can configure BIOS etc, but when you try to boot Ubuntu or Windows it crashes, Ubuntu throws kernel panic while when booting Windows it might just shut down. This leads me to believe it is problem with processor stability and with capacitors surrounding the socket to be exact as the processor is known good. Those caps surrounding the socket are OST branded RLA 680uf 4V. They don't look bad but as far as I know with OST it is quite common for them to fail while still looking healthy.
Couple questions:
1) Does this sound like the problem is those caps?
2) If it is, can I use these to replace them:
