Long story short. My power supply shorted mid week while my computer was booting up. Snap, crackle and then a dead computer. I replaced the power supply after 3 days and crossed my fingers. Computer came up but was slow going though the USB configuration in post. Taking about 2 to 3 minutes to get though the post and then load Windows XP pro.
Eveything seems to work except all my USB ports do not pickup any thing plugged into them. I have 4 on the back of the MOB and 4 extra on the case in the front. I uninstalled the USB controller, shut down the computer and started it back up. Found alll the controllers and installed them again but after they all were found it showed 3 unknown device when I checked in device manager. I did not have any usb devices attached or plugged in at that time. I then decided to flash the bios with latest version which went fine. No luck with the usb. Updated my intel chipset to the latest from ASUS. Uninstalled and reinstalled the USB controller. USB configuration now zips by in the post, no unknown devices showing up in hardware manager but the usb ports still do not detect anything when I plug into them. I have devices that need the USB ports.....printer, cd rom, zip drive, several thumb drives. ?????? Do not know what to try next except to reformat a HD, install windows and start over. Did not want to spend several days doing that if I do not need to. Anyone have any suggestion? (my profile has my computer specs)
