Try adjusting the bios settings in mainboard. I used to have issues, and
still do, where the usb hub on my mainboard shared same IRQ as my PCI scsi
card. Nasty things would happen if i used hard disk and usb devices of any
kind. One of those magic things depending on the phase of the moon. I found
by moving cards around in my junky old system, and choosing the irq that
gets used for usb device helped this

Well, I'll give it a shot... I can't move those two objects about, since they
are both part of this very integrated MB. (Funny how hard it is to come across
a non-integrated board these days... at lease it didn't have integrated video.
