The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Front USB ports cause the computer to restart

Asked by robsky1 in Microsoft Hardware, General Computer Systems, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: usb, computer, front, restarts

Hi
I built a new system for a client and when he inserts a thumb drive into the front USB port, the computer restarts. Below are the specks.
Antec Sonata ll case with 450 W/PS
Asus P5L-VM 1394 MoBo
2 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz RAM (2x 1Gig)
Sapphire x1650 256 MB video card
Intel E660 Core 2 Duo Processor
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates

The case has 2 front USB, 1 IEEE 1394 and audio connections to the front ports.

At first I thought the problem was the board on the front of the case that connects the USB, IEEE 1394 and audio. So I contacted Antec and the sent me a new board. I replaced the board and it seemed to work fine for a day. Now its shorting out again.

The back USB connectors are fine and if a device is plugged into them it does not short out the system.

Any thoughts would be very helpful.
