silverdrgn Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hello everyone. I have had nosuccess at all trying to figure my current issue. First let me explain what is going on. I have a: Asus A8V Deluxe Mobo Soc 9392GB ddr 3200 RAM (512x4)AMD Opteron 180 Dual Core processorATI x1600 512ddr2 Video CardRaid 0 500 gigs HD480 watt Thermaltake PSUPlextor 716A DVD burnerPlextor 12x cd burnerand sony FloppyLogitech MX700 Wireless mouse/keyboard combo.My system was running great until I upgraded processors. I use to have the AMD 64 3200+ and then I decided since it was a dying system to upgrade one final time to a dual core. Got the Opteron flashed BIOS to latest 1018.001(at the time) on Asus site and then viola. System ran good for about 1 month. Then I started having intermittent issues. My usb devices would not be recognized. I would have to unplug them and plug them back in every reboot. Annoying to say the least since Mouse/Keyboard are usb connected. Anyway. It came to pass about two months later that nothing I plug in works, now all my drives don't work either (DVD,CD, Floppy). The systems sees nothing except an old ps2 keyboard and mouse that was made when gold was discovered. I though originally that it was the BIOS that caused the problem but I got no help at Asus forums except that there was an ongoing issue with XP doing this but is it XP64 that is also suffering from the matter? At this point I have a decent system that can do nothing and I would like to change that. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. So far I can do nothing with flashing as my floppy will not work. I can't burn anything to cd b/c my drives won't work. And I have to type with a keyboard that sounds like people are tapdancing in front of me. And the mouse well ya know how the old ball mice worked.

-pops- Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 The first thing that comes to mind is that the M/B has been damaged by hot-plugging USB devices. This normally affects only the USB sockets themselves but, I suppose, it could extend to other parts of the board.Despite what used to be claimed, USB is NOT hot-pluggable - that is the reason that Windows has the "safely remove hardware" facility available. Note that this is only a first idea of what may be going on. Others may have better suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdrgn Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I understand pops, thing is I have always been very meticulous about doing the software disable on the USB devices. This only started happening after I did the Bios update and installed xp 64. I was running XP64 on the 3200+ but since the bios flash and new drivers for the Opteron I started having this issue. Do you know of anything I can do to start troubleshooting and get the error cleared/petched/updated?? I did someting that one forum suggested and uninstalled all USB devices and reinstalled the drivers. Basically a new driver install but that did nothing. :( Thanks for the help so far though, its much appreciated.P.S. Is this a possible windows XP 64 issue?

-pops- Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 You could try putting a PCI USB card in to see if that works. They are quite low cost and you can always use them elsewhere if it doesn't do anything in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdrgn Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Very good point. I may have one lying around. But I still need to fix the issue as none of my drives work :( The usb main role on my pc was for my keyboard and mouse, the occasional pic or PSP transfer but that is not that big of an issue. I may try the USB PCI option to rid myself of this tapdancing keyboard and rollerball mouse. Thanks for the temp fix though. Anyone have any other ideas on why no periphreals are working other than the moniter and onboard sound,ethernet? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
