Does anyone use their built in USB ports with any of these boards without
any problems such as a failure in a USB device? Do you connect usb devices
to the port while the computer is running? Any problems so far? I wondering
if this is a problem that happens on some of these boards but not all of
them? That is if there is a static charge on a usb cable that gets into the
chip on the board it won't burn it out on every board. Or is it just a
matter of being lucky and not getting a big enough static charge to do any
damage?

I use lots of USB stuff on my P4C800-ED some, like an internal usb card
reader remain plugged in, as does a flash drive and others like external
hard drives, mp3 players and other flash drives are plugged in whenever. All
have worked fine

Hi,

I have an issue with the USB ports on this board.
I have a (shared) HP USB printer, if I unplug the printer then any other
"new" USB devices are not recognised when plugged in, or the driver install
fails. All is OK if I plug the printer back in.
Stranger still, the onboard network card has random disconnection problems
when I unplug the printer.

Did you check to see if the USB ports are enabled in the bios? Then Windows
XP will install drivers and see anything that's pluged into the port.Or if
you did enable the USB ports then maybe try downloading the latest bios and
flash it. I think it is now version 1007. Create a dos boot disk flash per
instructions on asus website but avoid the asus webupdate method.

I am having the same problem. I have three identical compuers with
ASUS P4C800E Delux boards. All the usb were fine for about 6 months.
Now all of them have the same "drive not recognized" problem. If i
unplug the power and let the computer sit for a few hours, the problem
seems to go away for a few hours. Very disappointed!

Anyone has any ideas?
