Hello Mikkel
I am not running a USB hub of any kind. In fact, I have never
ran one before. The printer plugs into a socket that is on a PCI/USB
expansion card. The other two devices are connected to two USB ports
that connect directly to the motherboard.
I just had a thought and I changed a few things around. I
plugged the scanner and the burner into the PCI expansion card, and
plugged the printer into a port right by where I plug my USB keyboard
into. The thought was that the (probably) two problem devices have
always been in the ports that connect directly to the motherboard. It
sure can't hurt to move them to different ports...
This also might be of interest: I run a Abit KD7 motherboard
and an Antec TrueBlue power supply (either 480 or 520 watts. Can't
remember off the top of my head.)
I have had two Antec power supplies fail on me. In both cases the +5V
rail was going low. In one case it took out my DVD burner.
The MB voltage monitor didn't show any problems but my digital volt
meter did. On further investigation, I found that many people had the
same issues with Antec power supplies and even have a fix for the
problem online.
Take a digital volt meter and measure the voltages at one of the plugs
while the system is running. Then load the system.
I was away for the weekend and just saw this.
