Hello All,
I am having a problem which has been going on for about a month.
I have 8 USB ports on the mobo, 6 external and 2 internal
1 of the internal ports is connected to a combined floppy/media reader
the other isn't used.
1 printer is using an external port
1 mouse is on another (the mouse is cordless with a built in 2 port hub)
1 pda is normaly plugged into another port to charge it
The problem is that when I plug any device into 4 of the ports I get an
unknown device mesg in WinXP-Pro(SP2), but it will work in another port.
The problem occurs more often when I plug in a device which draws power eg.
the PDA or my Canon Scanner which is powered by USB. Some times the scanner
is recognised but fails when a scan is attempted.
Please find below a list of everything I have done to troubleshoot the
problem:
Reset BIOS
Reinstalled USB drivers
Disconnected all USB devices and tried each port separately
DIsabled all ports in BIOS then turned them back on 2 at a time
Bought new PSU (antec 350)
Used a different HDD with a fresh install of WIndows
Set USB in BIOS to USB1
If I remember rightly the issue started after I started using the Game port,
obviously I have tried to resolve the issue by unlugging the game port from
the board.
I have tried everything I can think of, I now believe the board is
defective.
Thankyou in advance,
