MagicAndre, I have followed your guide in an attempt to solve a similar issue on my PC. I am running Windows 7 (x64) with an AMD Phenom 8450 Triple-Core Processor. After going through the steps you have outlined, I have discovered that my issue is with usbport.sys. In your guide you mention to update the chipset drivers to solve this problem. I must admit that I am not entirely sure how to do this. In the meantime, I have gone into Device Manager and checked for driver updates on every hardware component listed and the problem has still not been alleviated. Any assistance that you can provide in leading towards a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated. CanPCUser
