What is even funnier is that it seems I have the same computer as you. I feel like the asus motherboards do something with the usb ports that kills the mbox minis slowly. I noticed as after I turn my pc off it has this ai charger thing that sends power to the usb ports and the speakers would make a hiss after the computer was off. I feel my Asus desktop was responsible for killing it, now it's not worth repairing.

Thanks for sharing! In my case, it was a blessing in disguise... I say this because without my MBox failing, I would have never discovered the amazing Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP! I LOVE that interface! So I ended up selling my dead mBox for 20$ on Kijiji because I didnt feel it was worth sending off for repairs. In terms of Asus ports, only some of them have that feature you describe (I think they are some of the 3.0s)... I dont think I was using one of them. I think I had plugged in 2.0 to play it safe.
ANyway, go with Focusrite - you'll be glad you did! :)
