Since the day I got my Asus M3N78-pro motherboard, the USB ports have all been flaky. It seems that items with batteries or needing alot of power (ipod, wd passport) don't work -- whenever they're plugged in, it constantly connects/disconnects the devices over and over. I've tried several ipods and a few WD passports and nothing works. The mouse/keyboard and thumb drives work fine.

 

I'm running:

 

m3n78 pro
phenom x4 9600
4gb ocz ram
geforce 7800gt

 

I'm going to try flashing the bios to see if that works, otherwise i assume I need to send it in for a new one?

Did you find the solution on this issue? I have something similar on my motherboard.
All feedback will be very welcome.

i have yet to find anything, but it may be conflicting mobo drivers -- i'm still running the same windows install as the last system i had, and that could be the issue. i'll post when i reformat, which may not be for a few weeks.

I had a similar problem. I thought it might have been the USB headers on the motherboard, but i found out the two top ports on my Case were worn out. I connected the header to two other USB ports and they seem to work fine. However I am getting the occasional USB "bandwith exceeded" issue. Anyone else having that problem with this?

I am having the same issue, but I read on another forum that it could be a usb power issue. The Mobo might not be giving the USB's enough power. I have a USB wireless network adapter, and it works fine by itself, but since its type "N" it uses a lot of power and I cant get anything else to work with it at the same time.
