It's awesome when you build a new computer, and then there's always those random persistent problems after you get everything running that bring you down.
First off, I rarely actually shut down my computers. I always put them to sleep. When that happens, it shuts it all off so no fans or lights are on. I go do something else for awhile and come back to see the lights and fans of the computer are running and it's no longer asleep... I didn't touch it. I just looked it up and disabled wake on LAN, but haven't tested it yet. I kinda doubt it will work since no network activity should be happening if I'm not on any computer in my network.
Second, the other day a friend was here and he put a CD in one of my optical drives to see if the CD was good. Suddenly both of my optical drives disappear from My Computer. They don't even show up in Device Manager. Do a restart and the BIOS doesn't see them at first, restart again and it's all well. Then yesterday I go into My Computer and they are gone again. Restart remedies it. Today I had to restart my computer to attempt to fix the third issue and I go into My Computer for something and they are gone again... I haven't restarted again yet, but this is pissing me off.
Third, I'm not really sure what was happening, but my audio driver software started freaking out and kept popping up with a balloon at the taskbar saying I unplugged an audio device, then I closed that out and I've magically plugged it back in without touching anything. It just kept repeating that a device has been plugged in and unplugged. Did a restart and it said I plugged a device in and then never again.
Should I be regretting going ASUS/AMD over the EVGA/Intel combo I had with my last build? The ASUS board in my server did have an issue where the on board LAN port stopped working within a couple months and I had to get a PCI card. I never had an issue with my EVGA board in the 4 years I've owned it...
