    Okay it still happens, and now i've also noticed that sometimes when i turn on the computer, the printer seems to be malfunctioning. It turns on, but the lights on front flicker, unless i shut down the printer and reboot it. Do you think this might be showing that there isn't enough energy to power all the USB appliances? If so how would I fix it???


    Thanks, Nardopolo

    Try removing all accessories attached to your computer, turn the computer on, and slowly start reconnecting them.
    Start with the mouse, then keyboard, ect...

        alright i finally figured it out. My keyboard wire was constantly rubbing on part of the computer desk and bare wire was exposed. I guess it was short circuiting or something and by doing this took power away from all other usb devices as well. Thanks to all those that helped.
