ECS nforce4a-939 locking up like crazy

Well, I'm getting random reboots with 1.1K and my USB HDD plugged in. For now I've moved the HDD back to an add-in PCI USB card. I'll post back if it still reboots.

So I did 2 things and now the USB drive has been working fine:Plugged the drive directly into the USB port on the motherboard instead of going through a hubRebooted the PC with the drive on. Initially I had booted into XP before turning the external drive onSo it looks like 1.1k fixes the problem.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like bios 1.1K helps. My machine is now randomly rebooting. I'll try moving the USB drive back to my PCI USB card and see if the rebooting stops.

Spoke too soon. Froze with the new enclosure. Guess I'll stick with an add-on USB card. b

Machine froze almost the moment after I plugged in my Adaptec IDE->USB enclosure. Today I got a new enclosure with the Cypress chipset and haven't frozen after about 30 minutes of steady activity on the disk. b

Something else I just noticed through device manager. Looks like the 4 ports on the back of the board are divided between 2 controllers actually. One is Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller and one is Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller. Wonder if that has something to do with it. b

For the last couple I had to do it from a boot floppy because the WinFlash would fail. Are you seeing the same thing? b

Just for curiosity, which USB port are you using for the flash reader? b

What brand of card reader is it? Do you leave the reader plugged in while it's not being used?

I don't think it's power. I have tried hooking my devices into my monitor's powered USB hub. b

Isn't ABIT manufactured by ECS now?
