At my wits end...multimeter use question. yeah, another one.
Quarters:
I had a similar problem also using ipac, optipac, and tornado. I suspected usb port on my old mobo were the problem.
Simple fix: Go buy a $15.00 pci usb card. It has worked perfectly for me.
Also check for a bios setting for usb power while off. I have seen boards with this option.
hypernova:
Well, I relocated my Ipac on the underside of the CP. Which rendered the cat5 wall terminals useless.
Whatever the problem was, I eliminated it. I'm figuring it was the cat5 cabling getting scrunched under there. (Where the cables connected to the wall terminals, it was a bit crowded. Only about 2" of head room. Might've caused some of the contacts to be iffy.) At least, that's my theory. The Optipac isn't having any trouble yet, so I'll leave it where it is.
Thank God I found it. Nothing can kill the desire to do something like having an inexplicable problem rear itself that you can't figure out. This was dangerously close to exactly that. I would've bitched to the end of time if I hadn't fixed it (or in this case, found a workaround.)
