Hi

I've owned this controller for around six months with no issues what so ever with it being in moderately frequent use. I haven't changed/added/moved any USB input devices, nor changed any parts within my PC, but last night my controller has been frequently disconnecting and I get a pop up saying that the USB port requires more power. I decided to leave it as it was quite late but i left it plugged in after shutting down. This morning when I booted up, I get a BIOS message saying basically the same thing and then the computer shut down after 15 seconds. Is this my controller just being faulty and needing to be replaced? Or am I missing something?

Any reply's would be appreciated.
