hey guys. ive been struggling with this for months and im at my wits end.
i recently bought and built my own PC. almost from the begining i had problems with the usb ports. heres the symptoms:
Motherboard Biostar A880GZ
everything runs normally. at random all usb devices disconnect and reconnect at the same time. (windows makes the device disconnect, divice connect sounds) this interupts my internet connection (wireless usb adapter), any videos or transfers to my external hard drive, and even my mouse and keyboard dont work for a few seconds (obviously). then ill get a popup in the conrner saying that "your device perform faster" clicking it brings me to a menu saying that i should plug the device into a high speed USB 2.0. since this is a brand new computer, its has nothing but 2.0 ports, so thats not an issue.
things ive tried. after trying to reinstall the drivers, i decied to just start new. i formatted the drive, and reinstalled windows. downloaded the drivers from the biostar site and i thought things were moving smoothly. i started to reinstall my programs, but it happened again. so not fixed.
i thought maybe the case was the problem (in hind sight, i should have gotten a higher quality case). so, i moved the case USB connector pins from USB1 to USB2 on the motherboard. still happens
next, thinking it still might be the case, i plugged all devices into the back of the tower and unplugged the case usb pins entirely. no help there either.
im just about out of ideas. could something be shorting out the power to the usbs? i suppose thats my next line of ideas. ive already contacted Biostar, hopefully they can help me or replace it. id prefer to fix it on my own as im trying to get this thing up to 100% for Diablo 3 on tuesday.
thanks in advance! -Doug
