| Well a few weeks ago, my laptop started not reading USB devices. It would take it upwards of a half hour to finally recognize it, but if I had it plugged in and rebooted, it would recognize it right away. Scanned quite a few times with many different AVs/AnitSpywares (Avira, Avast!, NOD32, Trend Micro, Spybot S&D, Adaware, the works) and nothing turned up. It's really freaking annoying and now every here and there my laptop will just decide to freeze a program at random. I'll be playing a game not using MSN, but MSN will freeze. I've formatted and it still continues to do it. Any ideas as to what it could be?

If it continues after a reformat, be sure all drivers are up to date and possibly that the USB cable to the mobo isn't loose or anything.

| All drivers are up to date and it happens even if I plug it into any of the 4 ports. New thing now, flash plug-ins like to randomly go unresponsive.
