[Ogamod]

I'm fairly experienced with computers, I've been using them since I got out of diapers. I've got an Asus P4P800 SE motherboard, an older GEForce FX 5500, a 3.4GHz intel pentium 4 processor, 1GB of RAM, and lots of USB trinkets that won't work. My iPod still can be charged through the ports, but no data. I've tried ALL my devices on one of my other computers and they work well, however the other computers are trash and I'd love for them to work on this computer. I just reformatted my computer in hopes of that working, but it hasn't worked. Being a 15-year-old with medical problems, my family is tight for cash so I'm hoping I won't have to replace this motherboard and I decided to ask you guys for help. I believe I've registered before but it was a few years ago and I recalled this place was a great place to ask for help. Any suggestions on something I could do to figure out why my USB ports have stopped functioning, or a way to fix it?

Any help is appreciated,
Ogamod.

Is USB enabled in the BIOS?

Have you tried this? In the Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers > USB Root Hub > Power Management, Uncheck the box per the illustration below. Uncheck all boxes on all root hubs.

Hello Ogamod and welcome to G2G!

Have you tried reinstalling the motherboard chipset drivers?
Are there any devices in device manager with a yellow exclaimation mark or a red cross on it?
