Hi there, i have this AN9-32X motherboard for about 2 years and 3 days ago i started to have a weird problem, when i start the computer it beeps right away and the POST LED displays a different code each time i try to boot (i remember getting: C0, C1, C3, 25, 16 and 75), as the computer booted flawlessly after a few tries i'm guessing the problem is with the BIOS chip os something like that, also, when i opened the case my case-fan and the Ethernet jack had wet spots near the heatpipe (the case was closed). After booting the computer worked fine so i tought the problem was solved and shut it down, the wet spots gone away along the day so i just ignored it. The day after, when tried to turn it on again, the same thing happened, and the wet spots appeared again, so i took a picture of it and after several tries managed to boot it up again.

I can only guess the heatpipe is leaking somehow when it gets cooler, but i see no visible cracks nor the chips are hotter than usual when in use.
