Try a simple USB flash drive on the same USB port. If the symptoms are the same, it could be the USB Port is improperly connected to the mobo USB riser. If the symptoms does not happen with the USB Flash Drive, then it could be the PS3 controller could be messed up or overloading the USB current rating.
