Hi Steve,
I've seen a number of reported issues with nvidia's nForce chipsets (which
that mobo uses) and AMD dual core cpu's. Asus' site lists no Vista
compatible chipset drivers for this motherboard, only XP and below, so you
may be suffering from a compatibility issue. I would open a support case
with them to confirm it.
