    Could it possibly be a heat issue? I recently replaced an older HD for example, with a newer one, and even though it had a fan going, when I closed my case up, it ran fine for about an hour then overheated.

    I opened the case back up, re did my wiring, and everything seems fine now.

    Outside of that, you might try checking the sleep settings, and possibly, the USB settings. Windows 7 has a thing that will turn on and off USB ports, unless you tell it not to.

    Just a few ideas off the top of my head. hope you get it up and running though.

    But the strange thing, is that it's not happening when I am gaming. It happens more or less, when I am at the desktop.
    If it was heat related you'd think it'd happen under the highest relative load - while gaming. That's not happening.
