The integrated peripherals for my NF7 board are really flakey. I think it may be a grounding problem. Any suggested solutions?

My USB printer always stops working untill I power the system off and PHYSICALLY unplug the computer, then plug it in again and start it up. If I just power off or restart the printer still won't work. If I unplug my optical mouse and plug it back in the computer wont' detect it until I unplug it either.

I also get a strange humming sound when i used the integrated audio. The hum gets louder when I turn the speaker knob but not when I adjust the system volume.

I have a feeling it may have something to do with electrical current running through the case? I'm using a coolermaster ATC-201 case and I replaced the rear bezel when I installed the mobo several weeks ago so the peripherals would fit.

What kind of standoffs are you using? It sounds like there is a seriously shorting problem or interferance or something.
