I have taken the NIC out, this has seemed to fix the problem, i've been up 12 hours without a freeze. I just can't quite understand why a PCI card would cause the USB Controller to halt....

Howdy, since last night when I booted, I was greeted with an unwelcome mouse freeze. Initially I went to the Xfree86 user list, since when the mouse would freeze X11 would go into an uninterruptible sleep and couldn't be killed. This was before I noticed the "host controller halted" error in dmesg and came here:

uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: host controller halted, very bad!
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2

The last two lines are me disconnecting the USB devices. One thing i've been able to do when this happens is unplug the mouse and sound USB devices, then try to kill X. A few times I was able to replug the mouse back in and have it still work, but since it happens every time I boot within 5-30 minutes i've just resorted to an old ps/2.

I did have the computer open a couple days ago, I removed some a wifi card and inserted an older 3com 3c905 boomerang NIC, i'm wondering if maybe something got damaged in the process. Should I should try removing the NIC? I hope I don't have to buy a new mobo as i'm dead broke at the moment! If you wish me to provide any more detail, feel free to ask.

Thanks,
