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.

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?
