Your ASM1083 is infamous. Revision 1 was unusably buggy; rev. 3 mostly works (except for virtualization). Which one do you have (lspci)? > ASUS was nice enough to list the irq layout of the pci(e) slots in the > user guide. "Nice" isn't enough, it should be _correct_ (which was not the case for my last Asus manual). Anyway, PCIe devices that support MSI use a completely separate interrupt line. (USB3 ports, graphics, and built-in audio should be harmless then.) You need to check /proc/interrupts to be sure.
