Its not saying exactly that Ed.

I will move it to a rear panel usb socket just for S&G. Currently
plugged into a front panel socket, which may or may not be clean
enough for a high speed connection.  The FP socket may not be as 
directly grounded as a rear panel socket could be. The front panel is
of course a plastic casting so any ground is 8" of breakout cable away
on the rear of the motherboard.

The camera itself is grounded thru its alignment adjusting screws, to 
the frame of the machine.  It also is grounded, but likely not well 
enough.  All food for thought, and inspection with my 100mhz dual trace 
scope.  I do recall having to put both a capacitor, and a small debounce
(3 base_thread intervals IIRC) in the "probe" facility on it.

Sounds like you need a heat leak into the basement, and a humidifier 
installed in the furnace. I have both in the house, but only electric 
heat in the shop and wall fans, for overtemps where all this is taking 
place even when its pouring it out of one of those famous boots. :)

That high humidity failure points to EMI also.

Thanks Ed.
