USB game controller keeps disconnecting and reconnecting by itself

[dazed69]

I been using a Logitech dual action controller and a PS3 dual shock 3 with motion joy drivers of course with great success for years now recently both controllers work for 5-20 minutes then disconnect sometimes reconnecting automatically too,,, thought maybe a bad cord connect ect.,,,,.checked drivers tested ok,working.controllers are recognized too.i tried different USB ports same problem.....the driver used to auto load and install every time i plugged it in which i thought was weird.uninstalling it isn't highlighted as an option i tried....i built the pc but im no expert.--

any help greatly appreciated ....

ASUS--P5Q Pro turbo

intel Quad 9400

PC power and cooling 750watt

cable...!

lol,it was my first guess ....the Logitech cable was shorting out ,a thin internal ground wire was frayed ..

My PS3 controller had a loose micro usb connection that kept shorting it too which made me think it was a PC issue not a cord .


Thanx for reply choco ! i triple checked the cord by wiggling it until i found the short....spliced it .....now it works ...thanx.
