    I keep having intermittent power loss on my USB ports. I've plugged a mouse into each port and periodically, the mouse will lose power and stop moving. I'm using Windows 7 and haven't had this problem before. Anyone have any thoughts? I hope I don't have to replace the motherboard with this.

    are you on battery?

    I know there's a setting in the power profile that makes the usb ports selectively shut down but *shrugs*

    No, I've been on AC power when this happens.
