USB Connection Issues

(1/1)

FrizzleFried:
OK...all of a sudden,  I am losing and then re-aquiring my USB connection that my JPAC is connected through.   If I don't touch the control panel for a bit of time,  then go to play a game,  it will play fine,  then a few seconds in to the game,  I will lose USB connection momentarily (you can here the usual Windows USB de-dunk sound) then it will reaquire the connection.   I can deal with the sound,  but I lose control and actually the entire game freezes for about 1/2 second each time it loses and then reacquires the connection.   If I keep playing,  there seems to be no issue...but if I stop playing for a while then go back...same problem again.

At first I thought it was me bumping the spinner and IT losing connection then reacquiring,  but i've determined it is the CP itself...which goes through the JPAC card.

Any suggestions?

zelony:
Try the following:

1.  Make sure all cables are securely attached.
2.  Make sure that your BIOS and/or Windows is not cutting power to the USB port. (Not likely, but possible.)
3.  Try a different cable.
4. Try a different USB port. Do this last, since Windows will redetect your JPAC and assign it a new USB ID.

Good Luck.

Does it only happen while you are playing a game?
Try to start up a game and let it sit for a while, see if it happens then.
What about while just using windows? (like typing in Notepad)

I am betting it's a simple connection problem caused by movement during gameplay. Once saw a motherboard with a bad solider joint at the usb connector.  Kind of rare but might also cause this.
