Does that thing have a power supply ? You should list the
model number, and if possible, the current ratings printed
on the label (3.3@30A 5V@25A 12V@15A and so on).

Run Asus Probe and see what the readings are for 3.3V, 5V,
and 12V supply. If any of those are low by 5% or more, that
would contribute to your problem.
