*I've disabled the ASSIST FANS until the temp is 60deg. Always check the Device Manager to see if all drivers installed, or if there are conflicts. Use the drivers from the SUPPORT site, not the CD. I advise to manually apply a Restore Point every few drivers and/or apps so the rollback isn't too far if a crash happens. After installing Windows 8 my system crashed twice but did repair itself. I'm not sure where I can find the ASUS equivalent. I found a thread that seemed to offer a solution, but it was for an HP computer, so it might use HP drivers. Someone told me that's all mostly bloat, and that to run properly you only need the chipset, LAN, VGA, audio, and USB.

Although there are a bunch of utilties from the site I didn't bother to include. I didn't find anything like that on the ASUS site. Like the title says, the "PCI Simple Communications Controller" says it's drivers are not installed. I got all my drivers off of the ASUS website, and they all installed without a problem, but when looking at the drivers in the Data Manager, I found an exclamation point in "Other Devices". Plus an old optical drive I had lying around. I was a little disappointed with my graphics performances (I had heard that Intel HD 4000 would be great for casual gaming) so I decided to see if I could find more up to date drivers. All in all I would declare it a great success. I just finished setting up the first computer I built myself. But it seems like every time the question is asked, a different answer is given, which confuses me greatly. I did a Google search and a search here on Tom's Hardware forums to see if this question has been brought up before, which it has.
