1. What OS are you using?
2. You may want to purchase a external USB hub/w LED's & external
power supply. You will be able to see if the BIOS in finding
the USB hub followed by the OS finding the USB hub.
3. If you have a geek shop near you or a Fry's close buy look into a
small ATX power supply ( 20 or 24 pin) that has ground fault LED's.
** note - have have seen where my USB bus will drop(when loading windows
drivers) out especially when I am using a heavier load USB device like
an external USB drive.
