    "USB Device Not Recognized" message

    I just got my new PC not less than a month and since yesterday this message keeps coming up, "USB Device Not Recognized."

    (looks like that but in Windows 7)
    It comes up sometime every 10-20 seconds or it will go awhile before coming up again. The only thing I have connect to my PC through USB is my mouse and keyboard. I have tried to unplug them and replugging them into other USB slots but that does not work. I have also try unplugging it all together and the message still comes up. When I do click the message I get an empty box but sometime a box with two USB things, one in bold the other not.

    (looks like that but there are only 2)
    I have tried to shut down and unplug my PC like some website have recommended but that doesn't work. I have also tried to restore my pc to an earlier time but that didn't work either (there was a windows' update and an AVG update which I thought was the problem but it wasn't).
    I have a windows 7 home 64-bits system. Is there anyway to either fix the problem or just turn the little ding sound that comes up when the problem pops up?
    -Thanks

    Have you tried different USB ports?

    Could be hardware failure. Or, one of the updates screwed the usb ports. You can try a windows repair installation and see if that fixes it.

    I get it with my PSP time to time, when that pops up. Just re-plug it without acknowledging the error (leave w/e pop up open) and it should load. Well works for me, so who knows.

    Yeah, I have tried plugging my mouse and keyboard into different ports but the bubble still comes up. Which are the only items I have connected through USB to my Pc.
    I think I might have it solved. I went into the device Manager and went down the list disabling and enabling each USB to see which one could be the problem and I think I have found the USB. So far no message with it disabled, but we'll see i guess.
