Title: ASUS Mobo help...
Post by: nit.1762 on June 06, 2008, 10:06:13 AM

I have ASUS mobo - P5GC-MX/1333. The problem is that my USB root hub (containing front 2 USB ports) is not working, although the hub wire is connected properly to the mobo.

I also receive a warning which says - A USB device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device.

and the Recommendation which shows up is - To re-enable the port, disconnect the hardware and click reset. If u click close ,the port will no longer function.

Please help me what to do.

HERE IS THE SCREENSHOT :::

something is causing it to do that it could be a short somewhere I would check the wire leading from the mobo to the ports.

I've had ASUS MB's in the past that seemed to have 'weak drive' to the front USB ports.  Solution is to use your rear USB ports, or maybe buy a USB expander to plug into a front port - that has worked for me.

The root hub you're having problems with...

Then restart your computer. Windows will automatically install it.

Is that the two USB ports you mentioned?
