Jiffy, do you have C3 and C6 reporting enabled in the BIOS by any chance? Are you using XMP profile? Since I disabled them I have not had a lock up in days. Just curious.
That is an interesting bit of information. And if it is to fix a problem that is hardware related does that mean ASUS will be replacing 3.0 boards with 3.1 boards. Cant wait to see how that one shapes up.
So far the changes I have made resulted in no USB shutdown and no freezes. What really...
Thanks Bankster! That is valuable information. I decided I am going to give it a little more time to figure it out. After reading some of those posts I made a few changes that have seemed to help others out.
1. Disabled the PLL overvoltage adjustment.
2. Disabled the C3 and C6 reporting
3...
Came across this post on one of the Asus forums. Apparently this is not an isolated incident. A lot of issues surrounding the P8P67 boards from what I am reading.

I'm going to give this...
Thanks for the responses Bankster. I've been able to replicate the problem on a fresh new Windows 7 install using a standard SATA drive. From the symptoms I am starting to believe this is not BIOS related. And from the lack of reports I am seeing I think this is an isolated incident related...
The first two screens have already been performed. I upgraded to 1502 today. I will also confirm/upgrade to USB driver 2.0.4.0.
Its actually gotten worse since I upgraded to 1502. First time its shut down on me while using the computer.
Just spoke to Asus tech support. The woman said if the BIOS is at the latest and greatest along with the chipset drives then the issue could be related to a bad capacitor or something on the board related to power for the USB to just shutoff.
Please Microcenter, get stock soooooon!!!
Well, the issue happened again and again I had to cold boot to get the ports back. As soon as Microcenter has more stock this board is going back for replacement! This is beyond frustrating. The USB ports just go dead. It hasn't happened while using the PC though. When the PC is sitting...
I saw there is a later BIOS than the one I am currently running. I just upgraded to it today and am keeping my fingers crossed. Since this issue occurs everyday I should know fairly quickly if this BIOS fixes the issue. Even though there is no mention of a USB improvement in the BIOS...
All Legacy USB is enabled in the BIOS (those are the default settings as well). They are plugged in to the USB 2.0 ports on the back (black). After experiencing the problem I even tried the USB 3.0 ports on the back. It happened again this morning where I had to cold reboot. Very frustrating...
Thanks for the tip. I actually experienced the same issue on a clean install on a spare drive I have. I'm not sure if a reinstall would help in my case.
Well, I finally picked up my replacement motherboard from Microcenter this past weekend and put everything back to working order. Windows booted, asked to reactivate and I was on my way except for one weird issue which has not gone away.
After about an hour or 2 it appears that the USB ports...
