Alright, i've got a USB Hub with 7 ports on it. It's been working fine for the time I have had it and just a couple of weeks ago it started playing up. My brother eariler the day it screwed up had plugged in his force-feedback steering wheel (has its own power supply if people wanted to know), the hub died and tried it in a diff port and the computer reset (who knows why). So, today started playing around with it and found that all hubs that i connected such as the USB Hub and something like a Card Reader. Both of them don't work. Then I go ahead and plug in a Microphone and a USB key and it works. I would really like to use the hub as the main ports are on the back of the computer and on the side (really annoying there). Tried using both of the Hubs on linux and they dont work there either. Checked BIOS and device manager and all of that crap. They work fine until the operating system starts up though. Dunno why. I got my dad to look inside the computer, nuttin wrong there either. I'm really pissed off by this. Pls help.
