USB devices keep losing power - Neo Platinum

I have a K8N Neo Platinum with a 3000+ AMD 64 chip...
I have a USB problem whereby my wireless USB adaptor cuts my connection, when I look at the adaptor itself all the power has gone and no lights are on. Unplugging the device and re-inserting it does not get any response from windows. Also, after this has happened, my other USB devices (ie mouse) continue to work fine UNLESS I unplug them and re-insert them. If I do this they also will not power back up. I've tried various adaptors from Netgear and alll of them have the same problems, its like they are causing the USB on my system to fail.
This happens with both the motherboard rear ports and the case front ports and is really driving me mad.
XP Home SP 1
USB mouse + opther USB devices
Netgear WG121 & WG111T wireless adaptors.
any ideas? I'm planning to reformat and rebuild otherwise

I don't know what you mean by USB wireless adapter, but if you mean a USB wireless Hub, it could be the following: If you are plugging the Hub into a USB port on your case, the case USB wiring maybe different from your motherboard, and is grounding out your hub.
This happened to me, I have a K8 Neo Plat board in an Antec case, the USB pin configs are different; and my case ports won't work. They gound out all my USB ports if I leave them plugged into the board. I moved my self powered USB hub to a back USB port and disconnected the front USB ports from the motherboard and now it works fine.
Another reason for the problem could be that you have so many USB devices plugged into your board that you are overworking your power supply. This happened to me too. I have six ports available on the board and I'm using them all. This caused my PSU to overheat. I had to go to more power.
I don't think it's a Windows problem, unless Windows is losing track of the devices. If they show up in your Hardware Profile but still don't work, I don't think Windows is the problem and reinstalling it won't help.
But, if you have installed SP2 over XP SP1, that could be the problem. You may need to do a clean install of SP2 and then reinstall the drivers for all your USB devices. I would get the latest drivers for everything from each mftrs web site.

K8N Neo Platinum, USB devices keep losing power

I have a K8N Neo Platinum with a 3000+ AMD 64 chip...
I have a USB problem whereby my wireless USB adaptor just keeps losing power, when I look at the adaptor itself all the power has gone and no lights are on.

I have this problem a couple years ago, and now I've gone back to using the same machine after a reformat the same is happening again. I've installed the latest nFoce drivers and in device management I've turned OFF power management for the USB Root Hubs but it's still happening.
Any ideas?

Check to see if there is a wire running from your Front USB ports to the #10 slot of your USB block which connects to the motherboard header.
USB connector block layout which corresponds to the pin layout on boards with the Intel spec for USB. Do not cut the pin on the MOBO. You are removing/cutting the wire to the connector block from the case.
2 4 6 8 10(this wire, #10, not needed)
1 3 5 7 9(filled/key)
If you find a wire leading to the #10 spot on the block, remove that wire. My block has tabs so that you can pull the wire out, or you could snip/cut the wire leading to that position--if you cut the wire, be careful to cut the correct one and cut it in such a way that it may be repaired if you make a mistake. Make sure you wrap the wire, the exposed end/s, you remove/cut with electrical tape so as not to accidentally cause a short. I actually folded the wire back and wrapped it.

This seems to be a common issue involving many different case manufacturers. I don't know how it applies to other MOBO manufacturers, but in these forums it is not limited to a specific MSI model or supported chipset(Intel or AMD).

8330 keeps losing power and rebooting

my curve 8330 keeps losing power and rebooting, does anyone know how to fix this, tried cleaning battery terminals but did not work.

I also have a 8330 and it does the same thing. It randomly resets (like a master reset as it takes a long time to reboot) throughout the day. I am a Canadian user and talked to Bell who told me I had to send the phone in. I went to one of their stores and sent the phone away for 2 weeks. I received it yesterday as it was "repaired". I had it less then 24hrs and again it reset about 12 times during that time. I am also not able to activate Enterprise since the repair. My company exhausted it's options to help me set it up but they determined the is a hardware issue. So The problem is worse now. I have tried with and without media card and it doesn't change anything. I have waste days with Bell trying to resolve this issue as technical support on the phone confirms that it is a hardware problem. I have now had to take the phone back to Bell for repair again. I am shocked with Bells attitude concerning this problem as I have talked to numerous customer service managers that tell me that I have a contract with them to provide the "service". They don't seem to care that the hardware doesn't allow me access to their service. I am also amazed that they don't care that a customer has to waste time on tech support phone calls and traveling to their stores to ship the phone back to Blackberry. As well as my company that wasted time setting up my "loaner" phone then my regular phone after repair and then again a "loaner" phone when nothing was fixed. When does Blackberry get involved and make the customer happy? I am surprised that the cell phone providers can not issue a new phone when there is a hardware problem under warranty. I was told by Bell that Blackberry typically needs to see the phone 5-7 times before they will issue a new one.... This translates to the customer doing 10-14 trips to the store and a large amount of time setting the phone back up each time...
Unless something happens fast, my company is buying out my contract with Bell and I will be switching to a competitive smartphone. This is unfortunate as I like Blackberry but can not stand the support. (since I can only talk to Bell as Blackberry won't talk to me directly and only directs me to my cell provider)
Very Frustrating. But a hardware problem for sure.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
installed.
Any idea, what might cause this?
Best regards
mark

I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop. I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices. I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all. Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped. It seems
to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
What can be causing this common problem?

Prevent certain USB devices from receiving power

I need to prevent devices such as cellphones from receiving power from a USB port while at the same time allowing for other devices that we use in the enterprise to function correctly. I have been unsuccessful in my research. I would like to have this
all done on the local clients so that I can add it into the image for the enterprise. Any help is appreciated.

Hi JustIT28,
As far as I know Windows don’t have the USB device type detection ability, may you can ask your computer hardware vendor for the further help, or you can Bing
the USB security software keywords then choose some third party USB security management software.
I’m glad to be of help to you!

USB device has exceeded power limits of its hub AND no sound

Yesterday no sound, but worse...Trying to connect to computer to charge gives me the message "A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub power. Clicking on the balloon states "A USB device has malfunctioned & exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device." Plugging into the wall charger states "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone...want to change to Airplane mode..." Is my iPhone dead? Ideas please. Thanks

Hi, Did you every get a reply? I'm having the same issue. The phone was working fine yesterday. Now, the button doesn't work and I can't sync it to restore it because I'm getting the same USB power limit message.

Android / USB devices keep connecting and disconnecting on R7

My daughter has an R7, and she is having a weird problem with the USB ports on it.No android device can stay connected. As soon as you plug it, it makes the connect sound then the disconnect sound and keeps cycling between connecting and disconnecting. It is not related to the device as I have tried two different phones and one tablet all with different cables, all work fine on other computers. And I tried on the three available USB ports of the laptop, all behave the same. Searching online I found a lot of people with similar issues mostly unresolved. I did disable the USB suspend option in the power options without any results, as well as uninstall all USB hub so they would be reinstalled at boot time, and installed all optional windows updates. She is also experiencing another issue on her USB ports, we have a Samsung slim external DVD player that uses a Y USB cable for data and power that also works fine on any other machine. On her R7, when playing a Video, the video keeps making blocks at regular intervals like something is preventing the full data stream. Wondering if this is related. Apart from that, USB mouse, USB keys or external USB drives appear to work fine. Anyone with a similar issue and a definitive fix?

Thanks, but I seem to have found a solution to both issues. 1) Regarding the android devices that kept disconnecting and reconnecting, after readiong this threadhttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2900614 I checked what registry keys were present on my wife's surface pro3 for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX\YYYY\Device Parameters and found that there was three DWORD values in there that were not present on the R7SelectiveSuspendEnabled
EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled
DeviceSelectiveSuspended So I added these 3 DWORD and set them all to zero, and the issue is gone. You may not need the three of them, but I have not tested them one at a time yet. 2) For the External DVD blocky playback, it turned out to be quite trivial. Someone had enabled hardware acceleration in the VLC player settings. I reset all the VLC settings, and it worked fine from there. Hope this can help others

Leopard 10.5.6 Causes Apple Keyboard USB Devices to Lose Power While Asleep

My Apple keyboard's left usb port does not supply power to any device connected while my mac is sleeping. I have my iphone connected there to charge at night while the machine is sleeping --to save power. Before updating to 10.5.6 this was not an issue. This problem has been noted by others, but I have not yet seen a proper solution. Can anyone help?

Just want to add my name to the list. This is exactly the same thing I've experienced with my iPod Touch 2nd gen. I started noticing the battery was half gone when I left it plugged into my keyboard USB port while the iMac was in standby mode. It was always fully charged +before the 10.5.6 update+. I've now had to remember to disconnect every time my iMac enters sleep mode. Which is, of course, annoying.

Mac Pro USB ports constantly losing power!

Hi,
Ive been looking through this forums but I havent been able to find a solution to my problem.
Ive got a 2008 Mac Pro and recently Ive been experiencing some issues with its USB ports.
The front usb ports have a USB antenna connected and some time later, it just loses power and I have to disconnect it and connect it in order to make it work again. Besides that, Ive got a USB hub connected in one of the back ports. In it, is my camera and my keyboard. After some time, it just loses power. Not at the same time than the usb antenna, but in less that an hour I have to repeat the process 2-3 times.
Worth to note, that in the two back usb ports left, Ive got an external hard drive in each and I dont have problems, there are always seen in the finder.
Some help would be great
Thanks in advance

Im running latest snow leopard.
I gave up and just used a cable for internet and a bluetooth keyboard.
I couldnt figure out why the usb antenna loses power. Though it still has a blue light linking.
What has been happening to you???

My ipod touch battery keeps losing power even when switched off

Why? What can I do? Change the battery?

I believe I have the information you're looking for, in return, please repond to the thread saying if it's useful or not.
The iPod Touch can lose battery under several conditions:
1. If the Touch is left in the USB cradle, disconnected, the wires can leech current, reducing charge.
2. Heat can significantly reduce a battery's charge, so keep your unit away from the sunlight or other heat.
3. Leaving your Touch with the wifi on will tax the battery, even if you're listening to tunes. Make sure the unit is completely disconnected and turned off.
In short, make sure your Touch has wifi completely turned off, keep its cool, and disconnect the Touch from the USB cable or cradle.

Multiple Devices Keep Losing Wireless Connection t...

We have multiple kids and hence multiple devices, daily, different devices are able to connect and others aren't. The only solution is to reset the homehub and they can all then connect, but it is only a matter of time before connectivity is lost. Happens on all device types, phone, TV, printer etc.
Anyone have similar issues and is there a resolution?

What Hub are you using ?
If an HH4 A or an HH5 A it is best to have different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz signals.

Qosmio F10 - USB devices not being recognised properly

Hi there,
I've been having major problems with the USB ports of my Qosmio F10. When ever I try to plug in a USB device, the F10 recognises there is something there, but always categorises it as an unknown device. For example, everytime I try to attach a USB mouse, it does not instantly recognise it, even after previously having gone into the device manager and manually installing a driver.
This has been the case since I bought the laptop 5 months ago, but I cant ignore it any longer.
I have already tried :
- uninstalling all USB controller and hub drivers and reinstalling
- making sure that power save for the usb devices was not ticked
-ticking "install software anyway" in the driver signing options
When I open up device manager my USB looks like this
- Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Controller - 24CD
- Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C2
- Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C4
- Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C7
-USB Root Hub
-USB Root Hub
-USB Root Hub
-USB Root Hub
Any help on this is much appreciated as its driving me nuts :-)

Hi
I agree with Jack. You have suggested that the USB devices were recognized but as an unknown device. In this case the device drivers are needed.
Which USB devices did you connect?
Sometimes some USB devices cannot be recognised properly because of the low power of the USB ports. If the USB device needs more power than 500mA standard power the OS could has some problems with the recognition.
In this case you need a external power supply or a USB hub with the power supply.

Bamboo tablet stops working? USB uses too much power?

Dear sirs,
Converted to macbook a year ago and so far I haven't had any problems, until this happened...
I bought my new bamboo tablet less than three months ago and recently it has stopped working at random times- and then, this message pops up. "USB uses too much power, will be deactivated... blahblah" None of my friends who knows a lot about macs can help either, so I gotta ask you guys. And I've tried unplugging it and plugging it in again, the message still pops up.
I only have my tablet plugged in, nothing else and my battery was well over 90%.
What is going on? +I have also asked on the wacom forum, but no replied so far.+

Is the tablet powered from its own power brick or does it get power only from the logic board USB port? If the later, adding a powered USB hub (has a brick) and plugging the tablet there should correct the power problems.
Some USB devices draw more power than many notebook can push through their USB ports. The powered hub is a great asset especially when using a notebook computer like a desktop machine.
