I have tried all 6 usb ports, the four around the back and the two on the front. Thing is all the rear usb ports are being used. I have:
iomega zip drive
motorola a1000 caddy
usb mouse
usb adsl modem
and sometimes i have a usb hhd in the front one
could all my usb devices be taking too much power?
sometimes my internet just kicks me off, never thought anything of it before but now thinking the usb might be doing the same thing it does with my mouse
(oh and i tried the mouse in the front usb and it was v.v.v. jerky, dont think its fast enough for the mouse)
No, All the USB port in your motherboard are meant to be used. So it doesn't matter if you are using all the USB Ports, it should work fine.
Other thing I can think of that your USB controller hardware file might be corrupted. Try below directions and that should reinstall the USB controllers and may resolve your issue. If it doesn't then I would try to get a different mouse and see if that works well for you..
Remove and reinstall all USB controllers
To remove and reinstall all USB controllers, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
2. Click System, and then click the Hardware tab.
3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5. Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
6. Restart the computer, and then computer should automatically reinstall the USB controllers.
7. Plug in the removable USB device, and then test to make sure that the issue is resolved.
Hope this helps... Good Luck...
