Is my motherboard going bad / dead within the next few days?

First my USB ports started acting funny. My iPod refused to charge on any USB port (be it on the USB ports in the back or on my case), flash drives would randomly disconnect and re-connect, it started telling me my internal card reader was USB 1.0, and sometimes USB devices didn't work at all when you plugged one in. Now my iPod goes insane when you plug it into a USB; it disconnects and reconnects about 20 times a second. Not good.
My onboard audio only works out of one speaker. I don't know when this happened, but i think it was around the same time the USB went. The microphone port is super-quiet when you plug a mic in, even if it's up to 100% receive volume. That's annoying but I've been using a PCI audio card so it didn't bother me much.
Now the kicker. Last night I go to burn a CD and it burns just fine, but when it went to verify it nero crashed because the disc had so many errors. I did it again, same thing. I tried a different program, same thing. Oh shit. Hey, and the IDE hard drive that's on the same cable suddenly isn't working either! So the IDE controller is gone too? Shit.
In short, do all these point to a motherboard failure? It's an ECS motherboard so it wouldn't surprise me if it is.
It might be.
Or it could be a driver related issue.

Does it on both Vista and 7 so i doubt it's drivers.
Is it possible to RMA it?
Is it still under warranty?

It's almost a year and a half old, so nope.
I think most Mobo's have 2 year warranty.

Yeah.
It is always worth a try to see if they will take it back.

I don't have a receipt or anything and on their website it only has a 1 year warranty anyways. It's shit according to newegg reviews anyways.
