Crash of all USB-Ports...  

I was going to suggest downloading and installing at least the public version 7100 RC of Windows 7 to see if some if not all of your problems have been fixed.

just as a note: my motherboard dosn't like things plugged into the front panel when it's set to 'Hi-Speed' in the BIOS on other OS', maybe your setups behaving the same way..

I had to either select 'Full-Speed' instead of 'Hi-Speed' or plug things straight into the back of my PC.

Dunno if this will help but thought I'd mention. (Maybe it depends on the case connections. I honestly dont know..)

i have the same issue when coping data to my usb hard drive, large spike and then all usb ports seem to shut down. im using the full and final windows7 pro, as a MS gold partner so not fixed

first we could use some info like computer, mdoel,ram, 32 or 64, clean install or upgrade. all drivers ok,etc

two places you can check is device manager check the usb decives and check for unknowns. You upgrade bios?

Second is event viewer. check windows log>applications , and systems for errors relating to the usb problem. wont be app crash but more likely time out, or exception errors.

Let me know if you need help with any of this.

thanks for filling in your system specs

ok i will have a good look, i was just googling the issue and stumbled across this thread. It does not happen all the time and a quick reboot and its away, so i will have a look at those power settings too. Thanks for the help and will let u know how i get on. Jim

event viewer not helping much anyone else sort this issue?
