first of all I am using the mobo in my sig. I have the USB driver loaded that ASUS told me to use with SP2 for XP pro. I use multiple USB devices keyboard my logitech G5 and a USB webcam, that all work, just not any MP3 play I hook up. what happens is that it connect then drops and does this many many times. It did it with my old Ipod and now with my samsung player. there have been very few times where I was able to transfer music. One other issue that has come up too is that it does not register USB 2.0 even though this board is.

I really want new music on this MP3 player its been 4 months with the same music:(
 
I once wired USB headers incorrectly to a friend's USB ports on his case, had similar issues.

Everything worked ok until we plugged in a USB-2.0-Harddrive. It would power on, spin up / down / up / down repeatedly ... you could get a very very slow transfer from it, but it sounded like you were damaging the drive. I rewired the headers (changed ground around or something, and it worked) Not sure what to tell ya if this happens on the MOBO's onboard USB ports.
 
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago and found that updating my bios to the latest version fixed my problem.
I have several usb items connected to my rig without a problem until I transfer files from my internal to my external via USB and vice versa. My pc would completely lock up, leaving me to manually reboot as my only option. I tore through my pc making sure that I didn't mistakenly connect my wires backwards or not plug a wire in.
A suggestion from one of the members here that a bios update should fix the problem as USB issues are usually a bios issue. Upgraded to the latest version and haven't had a problem since. You might want to give that a try.
