Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Asus A8V-E Deluxe, can't make usb ports work

weiste · 02-02-2005, 04:05 PM

Hello all, I've just put together a computer:

Asus A8V-E Deluxe motherboard,
AMD 3000+
Kingston Valueram 256+256 Kit 400MHz DDR
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB SATA drive
Club3D x300se PCI-E graphic card
Enermax 350w psu
1 DVD drive, 1 CDRW, 1 floppy
XP sp2

Everything got together all right except I can't get the usb to work. None of the 8 ports will respond, when an usb device insert to the port. That is, no light on with usb drive and card reader, which work well in other computer. I don't even get usb 1.1 to start with! What I've don't to try to solve the problem (without success):

-- installed all the drivers from the CD comes with motherboard
-- checked bios, onboard usb and usb2 are enabled
-- installed xp sp2 and updates after sp2 released
-- checked device manager, all usb controllers show normal working state, no yellow "!" mark
-- uninstall all usb controllers and "scan for hardware changes" which found and install drivers for all the controllers, but nothing changes
-- I'm quite sure all the usb connecters are correctly pluged, plus even the back panel usbs don't work...

... I really run out of ideas, could someone very kindly help?

PS: There are 8 usb ports all together in my mobo, 4 are back panel straight on the board, 2 are on the back panel that were shipped with the mobo and are connected to headers on the board, and 2 are front panel came with the case and connected to the header, and none of them work

edit: updated bios to 1002, no help,
tried uninstalled xp sp2, no help,...
