Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I don't see a manufacturer on it but the specs: 1394 Firewire Interface: Compliant with IEEE 1394A OHCE Specification Revision 1.1ĭata Transfer rate can be 100/200/400Mbps


PCI card I installed was purchased at Fry's. Mother board has 4 USB ports on back of computer and connector that is feeding 2 on the front. I know this is a lot to read but I figured I would try to give you everything up front. I walked away for the computer for a little bit and when I came back the computer was hybernating and would not come out of hybernation. Never saw the little green bars at the bottom. I was even able to fart around on the internet without having to wait for anything to load. I ran a few different programs to see if the problem was gone, and the computer ran great. I suspended the thread 368 and all the other processes went nuts for about 20 seconds and then the CPU went down to 5%. I checked and all 5 are running the same driver. There are 4 other USBPORT.SYS threads listed under the System Process that are not using any of the CPU. Restarting the computer between each check and it always appears as Thread number 368.Ħ ntkmlpa.exe!PsRemoveCreateThreadNotifyRoutine+0x21e When I expanded System is showed "USBPORT.SYS+0.6086 is the thread sucking up the CPU System = 92 to 99 (And that is 'System' not 'System Idle Proces') I downloaded Process Explorer and This is what I found. This tells me that it is a Windows software issue and not a hardware poblem. The original USB ports also work when I start up the computer with a recovery disk. My wireless mouse works fine when connected to the PCI card USB ports. I recently purchased a PCI card that had 4 external USB ports. I still did not have a mouse but I was able to use the ten-key through the Accessability options. I purchased System Mchanic from Wal-Mart and it made the computer usable again. The computer got so slow I could hardly do anything. I removed iTunes completely from my computer using the 6 step process provided by Apple. I went ot the microsoft website, and updated to Service Pack 3. In a Forum, (don't remember which one), I saw that there were issues with iTunes 10 and Windows XP with Service Pack 2. They would not pick-up my iPhone when I plugged it in. That was when I first noticed problems with the USB ports. Just before my PS/2 mouse totally took a dive, I had installed iTunes. I tried to update the drivers and it said that I had the most recent drivers already installed. I checked the device manager and it showed he USB ports and drivers to be working properly. I plugged my USB memory stick and nothing. I purchased a USB mouse mouse that has a cord. It finaly quit working all together and now my PS/2 port does not work at all. I am pretty sure that it was a problem in the wiring. The first problem I notices was the computer getting slow. I've been working on this problem for a while.
