I have a new USB Hub (
i-rocks 4100). Plugged into the hub I have a generic USB scroll mouse (Windows identifies it as a Cyprs USB Mouse) a printer (Epson R800) and a Webcam (Logitech Quickcam IM). The printer and the webcam are off most of the time.
The problem is, the hub seems to 'reset' itself periodically. When it does this 'reset' the blue power/operation light goes out and all devices connected stop working, and windows makes the sound that a USB device was disconnected, once for each device currently turned on. Within about 5 seconds everything returns to normal, with windows playing the 'USB connected' sound, for each device.
I haven't had any bad effects from it so far, it's just frustrating when the mouse freezes in the middle of something like that. I don't know (or want to find out by experience) what would happen if it reset while using the webcam or the printer, or maybe while a USB drive was connected to it.
So anyway, the question is if anyone knows why this is happening, or if there is anything I can do to prevent it from happening. Thanks.
