Hi,

If there was a problem with the USB bus, would attached CD/DVD & keyboard
and mouse devices / usb sticks also have problems?

I only have problems with the UPS.

I power cycled the UPS and reconnected it, and the problem persists.

Could this be a newly discovered issue with the latest USB chips in the
Intel P55 chipset?

Justin.
