| 371601 | 2005-07-13 21:09:00 | ok let's say it muight be the PSU but how can enabling/disabling the USB Host Controllers affect it, surely the USB won't tip the scales either way. It's not like its a HDD or DVD-RW? | cajetan (8513) | ||
| 371602 | 2005-07-13 21:24:00 | Wrong!!! ??? Wrong about .... Until recently my P4 with 4 IDE devices used to boot up with a crappy PC Company PSU (about 200W) with no issues. The only reason it was replaced (after 3+ years) was because it was becomning noisier. It will next find life in a Linux based server :D .. just gotta lube the fan |

| 371603 | 2005-07-13 22:57:00 | i would agree with Mythix i don't think the PSU have anything to do with it. have spoken to others and someone suggested that the card reader is at fault. i tried my sony mem card in there and it took like 1 min for it to show up bit slow me think? has no one else had this problem???? |

So have you disconnected the card reader and tried it again I've used one of these Foxcon cases with built in reader for a build a few weeks ago and it was fine. (not to say yours hasn't got a fault) Anything else using USB? Disconnect the front USB cable from the board and see if that makes a difference, you may have the connectors on back to front |

| 371605 | 2005-07-14 00:00:00 | You can run any size PSU you like, if it works great. IMHO, the machine you built is very grunty, and will need a reliable power source, a 350W PSU in your rig is like buying a HSV Commodore with a 4cyl 2L motor. Where is the time being used? when you first boot before the black Windows screen, or when logging on with your username. |

| 371606 | 2005-07-14 05:46:00 | have not dared touch the usb cables or disable anything the only thing that I have disabled is USB controllers in Device Mgr. Rob66 what size PSU should I have? I might take it back to the supplier cause they installed it. Might get some sleep tonight. Thks everyone, I pretty sure its the 11-1 card reader playing up somewhere. |

| 371607 | 2005-07-14 06:07:00 | Here (forums.overclockers.co.nz) is some interesting reading for you about PSU's. I would go for an Enermax 485W or similar. |

| 371608 | 2005-07-16 18:21:00 | For anyone interested, the problem was the motherboard, apparently there is a bug in the current M/B that makes it slow in initialising devices, got a new FOXCONN NF4UK8AA and now it flies! around 20sec for a cold boot to usable in XP SP2. Thks to everyone who contributed an answer. Lucky for me I got a nice retailer that did everything for me! By the way have upgraded to a Hyena 500w PSU niceeeeeee. | cajetan (8513) | ||
