I am generally pretty happy with my mobo, and it has been up and running for about 2.5 months now. One quirky issue is that while in the Pci-e x1 slot my Hauppage HVR-1800 would sometimes "disappear" from device manager, and I only noticed once I started watching TV via Windows Media Center. Shutting down the PC and restarting seemed to reset the hardware, but it never seemed to hold it for very long.
So, the other day I moved the device to the second Pci-e x16 size slot (x4 bandwidth) to see if that would fix the problem. Started up, Windows Device Manager showed it fine, and WMC no issues either. Come back to the computer later in the day, gone again.
I think what is happening is that when the computer goes to sleep (in my case it was after 30 minutes of inactivity), Windows is no longer seeing it, but I'm not sure why. Is this a BIOS issue (my guess) that it loses that hardware when the mobo comes back up? Or is it a windows issue? Never had this problem on my previous computer (Gigabyte P35 board) with any version of Windows.
I am playing with power settings now so the computer does not go into sleep mode, but not sure if that will do it. Or is there some other setting I can tweak to prevent this Pci-e problem from cropping up. (My 5770 GPU never fails to crank up from sleep or anything else for that matter).
