The Wierdness just keeps on coming!
Dec. 20th, 2009 06:54 pmQuite suddenly and unexpectedly, all the USB 2.0 ports on the FRONT of my computer (3 of them in all) have decided that they are either 1.0 or completely inactive.
QUITE suddenly. Like, there i was just sitting at my desk wrapping presents when the "This Device Could perform Much Faster if Plugged in To A USB2.0 Port" message popped up. Checked all the connections, unplugged-re-plugged every USB cable, swapped 'em all around, gathered up all of my USB devices and tried plugging each one in...
...it's like a random table that somebody is rolling for. Roll 1d6: 1-3 = No Reaction At All. 4-5 = Act as USB1.0. 6 = Act as USB2.0 for 8 minutes, then down to USB1.0, then stop responding.
It doesn't matter what device I plug in. Some times it works, most of the time it just fails. All three ports, all completely random in their reactions (as in, one will be USB1.0 while another doesn't work at all, and then vice-versa after a reboot).
USB on the back of the PC works just fine.
Trying to update drivers now... last time I did that it crashed the system!
