Curious to a few things here...I had issue deciding on the proper chipset driver for this board. Are you using 3rd party or the one from the website, as well for video drivers?

I am really trying to narrow this down. Thanks for your help.

from the website. Make sure you upgrade the bios as well

This is just to power your hubs and screen etc...? This is not a PSU but just a DC-DC regulator correct?

Yes, i use it to power the screen cleanly, and the hubs, as well as LEDS, and Fans for the amplifier. I also use it to prevent amp thump.

the SB Live is a PCMICIA card? It shouldn't draw alot of power from the usb. What PSU are you using?

The SB Live is a general PCI card on a PCI flexible riser.
I am using an AMD FX-62 dual core...It's all I had laying around. I know it might be overkill but I don't have any other CPU's laying around. I imagine this thing could be power hungry but by all calculations I have found it still shouldn't be pushing the Opus to it's limit. I haven't had any other glitches, problems, or anything other than this USB crap. I hadn't updated the bios yet because I read on another thread where someone was having the same problem as me and it didn't help. I will upgrade the bios tonight, and maybe try using a USB hub I have just to see if it makes any notable difference. Again, thank you for the help.

Well I am pulling my hair out. I cannot update the bios. I figured since there is no onboard floppy support and supposedly USB boot support I'd be ok with my Sandisk Flash drive. I have tried everything. The bios see's the USB drive but doesn't boot to it. I have tried making it bootable drive with HP utility etc...How the heck can I update this bios then>?

I used the WinFlash utility, to flash from within Windows.

Thank you very much!

Bios updated: Problems persist as usual

Have you tried disabling the USB enhanced controller interface devices in Device Manager, and just going with USB 1.1, as I mentioned earlier? It worked for me...
