Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with the USB ports on my new ASUS P5B motherboard. While some devices function normally, others seem to to work incorrectly or occasionally power off whilst in use. In more detail:
USB Sound Card: Works Fine
Mouse: Works Fine
Pen Drive: Works Fine
External Hard-drive - Worked, then became corrupted whilst in use. I think this is due to it powering off without first being safely removed. If it connected when booting up, the system hangs on the motherboard splash screen.
USB MIDI Keyboard - Makes the "connected" sound when turned on, but is not detected by any of my music software. As above, causes the system to hang on motherboard splash screen if connected whilst booting up.
Wireless Adaptor- Intermittently connects/disconnects from wireless network - very annoying when trying to download files, as you can imagine!
I think this points towards a power issue - I am using a Casecom 500W PSU, so I don't know if there are any issues with this? What I don't understand is how the same problem can manifest itself differently (or not at all) on different devices. I have tried switching devices round to different ports, but to no avail.
System Spec:
Motherboard: ASUS P5B
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz
Graphics: Zotac 9600GT
Memory: 4GB
Power: Casecom 500W
2x DVD Drives, 1x Hard Drive
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jonny
