Hey guys, does anyone know any reasons why my USB ports would go offline? If I play games for a while, the USB hub on my monitor will go offline, and it won't work again until I reset the computer. This never used to happen until I changed my motherboard and CPU a while back, but I still can't figure out why it is. It's really annoying when I wanna use USB stuff and have to restart. Any help would be appreciated.
check in the bios to see if there is a timeout for the usb ports. is it always the same length of time or different durations??
Hmm.. I'll check next time I restart. But what would it have to do with those timeouts? Because the USB goes will always be online as long as I don't play games. But a little while after I play games, it'll go offline. Though sometimes if I use it to transfer files, it'll go off soon too after.
I believe 2 but does that make a difference? My monitor's USB is 1.0, but it's connected to the USB ports which are 2.0 (I think) on the back of my case.
the reason i was asking if usb 1 or 2 as i have same problem with my usb2 if downloading from computer to external hd. if i use an usb hub than don't have the problem but transfers at usb1 speed not 2 speed.
