USB Problems...

Riddle me this...

Recently built a computer using Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard.

Having problems with USB devices. USB Mouse, Keyboard, memory sticks, and iPod all work perfectly.

However, when I tried connecting a wi-fi adaptor and a usb tv tuner, it failed to connect. (they were both unresponsive and the standard windows "failed to connect" noise sounded) I tried all USB ports and even installed a USB 2.0 PCI card - same result each time. I'm hoping it is a BIOS or OS problem. I've messed with the USB settings in the BIOS though to no effect.

Yes everything is connected, have used drivers which came with devices in question and they worked with my old computer.

Am I naive in thinking Windows 7, which is due to come in the post, will solve the problem?

I find it strange how the iPod works (so it rules out a lack of power) and yet the tv tuner and wifi - which would use about the same power - dont work.

Any idea's?

Thanks.

Specs:
i7 920 @ 3.8ghz
6gb Corsair DDR3
Single GTX-275
650W Power Supply

Do you see a connected device in Dev Manager?

Devices are Vista64 compatible?
