| 754659 | 2009-03-08 04:47:00 | Got an old Asrock P4VM890 MB, put in a P4 2.4 CPU, loaded Win XP; installed all the necessary device drivers, etc., it went very smoothly. :) But when I plug in my USB flash drive, Windows could not recognise it. Tried another USB drive with the same results. Downloaded and flashed the latest BIOS updates but produced no positive results. Device Manager shows very clean and nice page without any yellow ? or ! Under Universal Serial Bus controller, the following items are shown: USB Root Hub ( x 5) VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Hosst Controller ( x 4) VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller What's the next step shall I do? |

| 754660 | 2009-03-08 04:55:00 | Install a service pack If you flashed the BIOS, set it to its default settings and reconfigure it. Then save the settings Making sure USB 2 is on the higher speed |

| 754663 | 2009-03-08 08:54:00 | Whats dead? The computer or the USB ports? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 754664 | 2009-03-08 09:05:00 | Maybe went for a BIOS flash which did not work. That would stuff the motherboard. What is dead? I have no idea. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 754665 | 2009-03-08 10:46:00 | The MB is dead. Actually, it fails to boot randomly from the very beginning - no beep, no display, only fans are spinning (CPU + PSU). I removed the CMOS battery for an hour or so, put it back, turn on the power and it boots OK. I thought the problem has been fixed but it's back to its 'original' state, i.e. nothing but the fans spinning! Tried removing the battery but this time, no luck! |

| 754666 | 2009-03-08 11:09:00 | Sorry, but I failed to understand that the motherboard is dead when you were able to install Windows which went smoothly. Maybe I need to be a mindreader. USB ports will not work on a dead motherboard, | Sweep (90) | ||
| 754667 | 2009-03-08 13:23:00 | You in Auckland BKT? If you are, bring it here. I'll check it out You didnt remove the CMOS jumper at some time did you (as well)?? |

I'm in east Auckland and you're in Mt Eden, are you? It's a little too far away. Thanks, anyway. I did short the 'clear' cmos jumper to reset the CMOS. This MB has got only 2 pins (not 3 pins as in most other MBs). I've also replaced the battery. Tested it on bench top and it fails to start-up randomly. |
