Ok, since you switched boards, you also switched chipsets...did you do a fresh install of your OS?

If not you may have issuse with the chipset drivers from the old board, or other problems with left over drivers from the previous configuration...

You can try Device Manager (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager), When in DM look a round (not quite sure where the setting is tools or view....) and select "Show hidden" hardware....then you can look for things like you drives, especially CDs, and remove them starting with the ones that are somewhat greyed out, also get rid of anything referring to the Sis735 chipset (your old board)...
