Having some major USB issues over the last couple of weeks

1) Mouse freezes for a second or so

or

2) Mouse freezes for ~5 seconds

but more frequently

3) Both mouse and keyboard freeze up and both 'flash' ( the keyboard is illuminated and the mouse has lights ), not a pulsing flash but random flashing.
The only solution then is to take them both out and plug them into different USB sockets .

This fixes the problem temporarily :(

The flashing indicates, to me, that a signal/power is getting through but not constant.

Have tried ;

CMOS reset ( battery out etc. ) - No Fix

Reinstalled Windows - No Fix

Updated mobo drivers - No Fix

Replaced the Ram - No Fix

Flashed to latest F7 bios - No Fix

At a loss now for what to do ?

Would be very grateful for any/all suggestions :)

Thanks.

( Intel i5 2500k / Gigabyte P67a GD4 / Win 7 x64 )

Memory has just been replaced with new stuff, Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool gives it the OK ( it found faults on my last sticks, hence these new ones )
