| 702850 | 2008-09-05 22:17:00 | Occasionally when I plug in a usb device into the front port of my pc, nothing pops up (autoplay thingy). If I try to access My Computer, it will open my computer as a blank folder and show 'My Computer (Not responding)'. If I try to close it, it states that Windows Explorer has stopped responding and CPU usage jumps to 100% on all 4 cores...The only solution so far was to restart pc using the power button on case. What I want to know is what kind of problem is this? USB, driver, software or device? I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1. So far this has happened to 2 devices, flash drive (multiple times) and ipod (once). Both in the same USB port. Below are a few screenshots of the errors in device manager. www.imagef1.net.nz www.imagef1.net.nz www.imagef1.net.nz Thanks in advance for all your help |

| 702851 | 2008-09-05 23:38:00 | What happens if you use one of the rear USB ports instead of the front ones ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 702852 | 2008-09-05 23:43:00 | Not sure. I'll check on it later. Thanks |

| 702853 | 2008-09-05 23:52:00 | You don't say whether the problem occurs with all ports or just one particular port. This is clearly useful diagnostic info. If it is only one port, I would be looking at the physical connections for that port. The fact that several devices fail sort of eliminates the devices. |

| 702854 | 2008-09-05 23:55:00 | Well it's occurred only in the front 2 ports so far. Haven't checked back ports. Also, the last time this occured i managed to shut down via Windows, and by doing so i received a BSOD just before power off. However i didn't manage to read what was shown as it had disappeared after a sec or so :( |

| 702855 | 2008-09-06 00:28:00 | If its only happening to the front ports, (and they work OK on the back USB ports), did you build it / connect the USB front panel connections to the mobo headers yourself? Were the USB connections (from the front panel) in one block, or separate connections / blocks? If it only happens on the front ports (and you did build this system), its probably connected wrong (if the USB connections are separate) |

| 702856 | 2008-09-06 00:45:00 | Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced System Settings(top left)>System Properties>Advanced(tab)>Startup & Recovery(settings button)>and turn off Automatically Restart (under System Failure heading); this will allow you to see the BSOD you're getting. You seem to have a problem with a system driver within Vista, you may need to do a repair install of your OS. Try doing a "sfc /scannow" (type Run into your Startorb search box, click on the Run command, and type in the text inside the quotes, press Enter (you may need your Vista DVD in the drive)), before doing that though. :badpc: |

| 702857 | 2008-09-06 02:29:00 | A mate of mine had a similar problem to you,I found out that the ports on his computer case were only usb 1.0 - lack of power and speed for his usb 2.0 gear. So we used his mobo usb 2.0 ports instead and no worries all good.:):thumbs: |

| 702858 | 2008-09-06 10:05:00 | Well the thing is that I've had this pc since like April this year, working perfectly fine, along with ALL USB ports, up until last week or so, when this problem started happening... | EviLClouD (12981) | ||
| 702859 | 2008-09-06 10:53:00 | Hmmm - Okay - have a careful think - have you changed any settings, added any programs, any updates - then the problems started - or have they just suddenly happening. In other words, what has changed then the problem started ? |
