I would check the power supply assuming that all the components are all supported by the mobo in terms of speed and with no overclocking.

Can you go to device manager and list out what you have on each IRQ?

This sounds as if there's a conflict between two devices that are sharing an IRQ and having problems with that sharing. Maybe the mouse and the nic using the same irq. Or maybe the video sharing with one of these?
