Pre-Sp2 the USB ports were working OK on 1.1 (meaning slow) and I had a
yellow explanation mark on an unknown device (which I surmised was the 2.0
root hub). After SP1, I did an update of the driver, let it hit the web to
find the correct one from M$ and it seemed to load a good driver - the USB
2.0 driver entry in the Device Driver section looked like it was satisfied
(yellow explanation mark went away). BUT, now, when I insert any USB device
I hang the PC immediately. It requires a cold reboot to resume operation
(after removing the USB device). A warm reboot or reset results in a goofy
Chinese error message like - "Award CMOS Bootblock checksum error- you're
velly sorrily screwed." I tried to flash the BIOS with an update but
apparently the new version doesn't like me - it says "Failed, wrong
checksum, Aborted!"
Weird. No jumpers to prevent flashing, either.
It sounds to me like maybe you tried using the USB 2.0 port before
rebooting Windows and that you got an error because the driver was
NOT initialized yet then you rebooted but then it was too late BUT I
would NOT expect that to give you a CMOS Bootblock error. If doing
the USB 2.0 drivers lead to the CMOS Bootblock error then there has
to have been something wrong with that mombo, imnsho.
Good Luck, my friend.
