The chipset driver archive I used was:
Intel_ChipsetInf_v830113_includewin2003
downloaded directly from the ASUS website.
Hopefully this will also fix the problem for you.

I installed the driver from the executable:
\Intel_ChipsetInf_v8301013_includewin2003\Chipset\Inf\Setup.exe
I tested the USB ports after a restart, but the USB disconnection problem is still there.
I downloaded the
Intel_ChipsetInf_v8301013_includewin2003.zip file from
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...=P5K-E/WIFI-AP under the
Chipset category.
Here's the download description:

Maybe we can check the file hashes to make sure we have the right file?
From the motherboard manual:
Quote:
USB connectors (10-1 pin USB 78, USB 910, USB 11 12)
These connectors are for USB 2.0 ports. Connect the USB module cable to any of these connectors, then install the module to a slot opening at the back of the system chassis. These USB connectors comply with USB 2.0 specification that supports up to 480 Mbps connection speed.

I plugged in USB devices into my computer's front, top, and back USB ports. I found out that only the front and top USB ports were causing the disconnection problem, but the USB ports on the back do not have the problem.
The front and back USB ports connected internally are called USB1112 and USB78. From the manual (above), USB1112 and USB78 are 10-1 pin connectors on the motherboard.
I used the
ASUS Q-Connectors to plug these USB connections in. However, I don't think this is the cause.
