    are the USB ports turned on in the bios?

    if you go into device manager, do the usc ports show?

    did you install the motherboard drivers when you reinstalled the OS?

    yeah, that sounds like a problem with the drivers.

    The light will come on even if you plugged it into a playstation2, doesent mean it recognises it though, that just a power supply.

    light appears as there is power via the USB as it's connected to the motherboard.

    wonder if you should try and install 'chipset' drivers for the MB. via CD or download of the manufacture's website.

    Daniel, go to the System Properties and post on here if there are any with a yellow '?'. There is most likely to be one there. If there isnt plug in the USB device your trying to use then do it again. It could be that the USB port drivers are corrupt/not installed or the drivers for the USB device are corrupt/not installed.

    **To get to the System Properties right click on My Computer then left click on properties. In the new window that opened click the hardware tab at the top then click the Device Manager button.**
