I wonder if I can make the the USB ports on my Abit AB-BX6 motherboard work properly. With both ports, when I plug in an USB mouse, I can see the sensor light turn on for ~half a second, then go off and turn on again, as if the power gets cut off and then turned on again. Same sort of thing seems to happen when I plug in an USB keyboard; nothing happens with the USB keyboard, but I can see the lights flash on the PS/2 keyboard I have connected in same sort of pulses. Also, whenever I attach a device to the USB ports, Windows locks up until I remove the device. I tried to clean the contacts with contact cleaner and even used some fine sandpaper to clean of any corrosion from the contacts in the ports, but it didn't seem to help. Is there any way to diagnose and try to fix this issue?
