    Hey Guys,

    My first post, but I've been lurking on the forums for some time and used the feedback on here to purchase an SA3AFX from Amazon about a week ago. The machine has been working fine, but I've had an occasional popup from the system tray about a usb device error. I've checked in the device manager and device in question appears to be a USB host controller. I've also noticed that the Bluetooth High Speed Adapter also has an exclamation next to it.

    So far the only usb devices I've connected is a mouse reciever. I've also updated to the latest bios from the Sony website. I had installed all the system updates from the Sony website with no sucess with resolving either issue. I've since completed a factory restore but both errors still persist.

    Before I forget, I've also put in an additional 4GB of Corsair DDR3 and a Sata 3 Force GT 120GB SSD. I don't believe either of these should be related to a USB or Bluetooth device issue though.

    Have any of you SA owners experienced this ?

    I haven't tried a clean install yet, as its something I loathe doing since it often trial and error with the Sony drivers/apps. I've seen people have issues with the gfx switching after a clean install as well.
