BAD MOTHERBOARD?

I recently built a pc about 2 mos ago.It consist of an ASUS P5A motherboard,AMD K6-2 400 procesor,128 MB sdram,Creative 48x cd rom,HP 8110 cd writer,Intel I740 video,US Robotics 56k voice,data,fax modem,creative labs pci 512 sound card,maxtor 8.4 gig HD,Epson 640 printer.
when i first put it together,i didn't have the cd burner,USR modem,&ccreative sound card.I had this cheap hawking 56k modem,ensoniq audio pci sound card,&hp 7200i burner.First i added the new hp burner-nothing but trouble(buffer underruns like crazy)&it still don't work right
next i added the US Robotics modem-locks up online,won't upload files using ICQ,wouldn't even send a reply back to USR for troubleshooting.
then i added the sound card-seems to be working ok for now
But now my printer is acting up-the light blinks,and when it is printing it prints a couple of lines,stops for about 5 to 10 seconds,and keeps doing it until it is finished.
I've wiped out the HD and started over twice,but i still have problems.Could it be the motherboard?i find it funny all these new devices can have all these problems.any kind of help would be very greatly appreciated,as i feel like the guy on the ZDTV commercial,and want to run this thing over with my car.LOL please help,thanks,chad

I don`t think your mb fauly, but you should reassemby your system and probably you can find a lose contact or other problems. After try to find conflict problems. And install everything back again. If you still having problems try to contact the nearest service for test your configuration
