I remember somebody asking of, or spaking of USB issues on certain BETA BIOS. I am experiencing issues with USB ports off one of the hubs from mobo internal on a duplex cable and it is so far on only one of the 2 (ie the top is fine well the bottom drops in and out through the day). I only started since testing on BETA v1004, and I noticed when using iPod docked while playing MP3's it continuously droped out and back in in auto play throught the day and I moved it to 2nd of the 2 ports on case hub to mobo and it is fine. I will test for another set of onvboard headers to confirm, but it may be a bad connection or wire. It is on my 2nd case, Antec P-160 w of almost 5yrs old.

my board was acting weird on the rampage 308 bios, it ran good and clocked up for a couple days on it.. just enough to fool me. then it all went to crap. it wouldn't even run on auto setting and pass 1 pass or at any setting on any cpu stress or even pass a 3dmark test.. the usb was going in and out. i am guessing it fried my mouse. also a cd/dvd drive went wacky and my sound. it also went to 2.0v twice after setting it at 1.50v. it was like someone/somthing outside my control was opperating it.. i went back to 1004 and started everything over again for the hundredth time and it is running pretty much what it did the first few days on the rampage 308 bios.. every once in a while it crashes out in a game but it runs good untill it does.. as soon as i save up enough money i am going to get somthing other then this board it is not for me.. then i am going to take it out back and pound it into the earth.. it has been the biggest piece of crap 3-4 month experience i have ever had.

Sorry for the late resonse, haven't been online for a few days.. I have the exact same problem w/ a USB 1.1 HID device I'm developing, it would drop the connection randomly once or twice over an evening. Moved it to the 2nd case port and it worked ever since. BIOS 1004, haven't tried 1201 yet. Not using S3.
