also i pluged my device into my front usb ports this last night and they did work. so i left it off over night. not even plugged it and this mornin it does the same. it says usb device malfunction cannot reconise it.

could ne 1 help please
 
Have a look in "device manager" and see if "SM bus controller" has an exclamation mark against it. That usually means no drivers have been loaded for it I think. This controller is enabled when the drivers available on SP2 are loaded. If you've already loaded SP2, then try to update the drivers whilst in device manager, that should get rid of the exclamation mark.
Then try to use your usb devices.
 
SM Bus controller is one of the drivers that will be installed either with Windows or with the motherboard support/driver CD as part of the chipset driver package.
 
it doesnt have an exlamation mark its a question mark but neway, its loacated under other devices. i have a had it running for ages and did a system restore the other night and now it just says *** i sed before. will update the driver using the motherboard cd ( thats right isnt it?) will have to do it later as im at work at the mo. cheers for the reply
 
k i remote desktoped to my comp and ran the update driver thing is asks for the cd so i cnt put it it. clicked ok it searched for a driver but nothing. how do i get it off microsoft website?
 
is a asrock k741gx. socket 462. the latest driver s 2003 lol. would this sm bus thingy lead to my front usb ports not working. also would that be the case if i havent got a big enough power suplly?
