Does This Vampire V500 Have a Power Fix?

This is a Vampire of a friend that needed some pins repaired. It was always unstable, repairing the pins did not help as expected. It is crashing within minutes and since it's an older rev I thought maybe it needs a powerfix. I tried to determine if it does need a powerfix by checking out the explanation on Majsta's website, but couldn't find out for sure.

I uploaded a picture of what I think is the relevant part of the card here:

Can anyone from the team tell me if it needs a powerfix or not?

Additional info: it's been tested on several recapped boards, including my own board that runs my own Vampire (rev 2.2) just fine.

After reading Majsta's page again and reading a mail from Gunnar, I realised I wasn't looking in the right place. I added caps to C3 and C6, card is now a LOT more stable.
