whats your network interface like ? onboard / pci , what ?

usb ... did you install the correct chipset drivers?

make sure you have everything seated firmly ...

if i were you and was having all this trouble i would start a fresh install and

1. set the bios to defaults . theres usually a deal in there to do so ... since you are having trouble with usb i would check to make sure usb is turned on for all devices in the bios. also, if your network interface is on the mb make sure it is turned on in the bios also.

2. remove all cards and do the install with just the video. add the cards only after you have windows up and running.

after you have installed windows

1. install the correct chipset drivers for your mb
2. reboot.
3. install sp2 / windows updates
4. reboot
4. video drivers
5. reboot
6. sound
7. reboot
8. add the other cards one by one installing drivers when needed.

^ you can try running the box without the other cards in it for a while and see if you have any crashes.

you might also want to check for bios updates. for abit they have a utility where you can do it from windows ...

i have the abit is7 and havent had a single problem with it ...
