P67a-gd65 and TrackIR

[mjaspers23]

Hello,
I have bought the p67a-gd65 (b3) this week, but I have a strange issue with it (at least, it is strange to me).

PC specs:
P67A-GD65(b3) BIOS 1a, i5 2500k, win 7 64 bit
Corsair 2x2GB XMS3 TW3X4G1333C9 | TW3X4G1333C9A 
Corsair TX750W
Asus HD6970

When I connect my naturalpoint TrackIR (a head tracking device I use for flightsims) to any usb port, it will work for several seconds, or minutes if I'm lucky, and then it freezes. When I unplug and then replug the device it works again for a couple of seconds/minutes and then it freezes again.
At first I tought it might be related to the software provided by naturalpoint, but I have tried with both versions available and both give the same result. I also checked on windows xp and windows 7 and again no difference, it freezes after several seconds.

I read some posts on the forum and found the latest BIOS, which I installed, but that also did not solve my problem.

Before I bought this board I never encountered any problems with the TrackIR and it also works perfectly on a different pc.

Does anyone have a clue what might be the problem?

Thanks,
Martin

Ok, I have sent in a ticket yesterday, so I'll wait for that

Today I finally got my self powered USB hub and unfortunately it did not solve the problem either.
I guess I will follow the advice of MSI support to ask my supplier to test the board, since I don't think I can solve this problem myself.

Once more, thanks for all the help!
