usb ports

[to jimmy s]

Hey Guys, I have a prob with usb ports (abit motherboard) I puged in my 4
ported usb adaptor and was working great for a few months and now it said
that this device is malfuntioning and now it applies to all my usb ports
including my usb HHD too. But when I pug anny of them into my other pcs or
laptop no probs.
Any idears ??????
Regards Wills

it is possible you are drawing too much juice via the 4 port hub.

might unplug the devices , not the hub,
then check in device manager to see how much juice it is drawing as you plug the device into the hub one at a time.

if this is a powered hub, then of course the problem would be elsewhere.

Hey Mikey I have tried from scratch soon as I plug in the the 4 ported
adaptor xp says this is malfunctioning. I have tried it on the front and rear
usb on the pc and the same applies. The device manager says unknown device !
and now it says the same for my usb external HHD and cam, and the properties
say no drivers installed for the unknown devices does this mean that I have
lost the drivers for the usb ports? My motherboard is Abit. any idears.
