hey all,
this is about my old machine running avg 2 years old. specs are as follows:
p4 3ghz w/ ht 90nm
asus p4s800mx-se sb sis 964
nb sis 661fx
1gb of ddr 400 ram
problem:
one day ( 3 days ago) the usb ports ( all of them) stopped working on external hard disks. i tried my 512mb mp3 player and it worked allright but if i put in a 512mb flash disk it wont acept it. windows will say the usual like your hardware is now ready to use then another popup says, usb device not recongised. one of the usb devices attached does not work properly. the really bugs me out because my usb mouse seems to work w/o a hitch. the external also works on my other computer ( see sig) and i got so pissed i reinstalled windows. currently im using a fresh copy of xp sp2 but still no results. so being a software problem is out. could it be the mb thats causing this? but if so why is my mouse still working! also, the printer doesnt work anymore. its a cannon ip4200 which also happend to stop working when the e-hdd stopped. wahts happening guys?
