Hey,
Lately my second (I have only two) usb-port has started acting weirdly, and it seems that it sometimes doesn't transfer the data or gets stuck. If I plug my mouse into it, sometimes the light from the mouse turns entirely off, and then I need to unplug and replug it. Sometimes even that doesn't help, it just whines about not recognizing usb-device and then I must wait couple of minutes before trying again.
Last time when I plugged my phone into it, the windows (xp) popped up a message saying that this device could work faster on a high-speed 2.0 usb-port, even though it is usb 2.0 for pretty damn sure. I haven't seen this message before, though I also haven't had any other device than my mouse in that port after problems started.
So my question is what might cause my usb-port to act like this and how to fix it? I was afraid if the motherboard was drinking it's last ale, but since the another usb-port is just fine I doubt that's the issue.
