Make sure your USB cables are high quality, particularly the cables inside the computer case if you are using a port on the front or the side, not directly attached to the motherboard -- vendors often skimp on those cables. If nothing else helps, try buying an add-on PCI USB controller card. Frequently one of those will work when a controller on the motherboard doesn't.
