    So do you have something installed that's not getting recognized?? Listing your hardware specs would be helpful. It could be anywhere from USB 2.0 drivers being needed to memory cards.
    Ivy i5-3570K|ASRock Z77E-ITX|Bitfenix Prodigy
    16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600|Antec TruePower Trio 550W
    MSI R6850 PE/OC (860/1100)
    Ivy i7-3770|Intel DZ68DB|ThermalTake V9 BlacX Edition
    32 GB G.Skill Ares DDR3-1866|Corsair AX850
    Zotac 1060 Mini 6GB|Dragonfly 1.5 USB DAC

    I don't really have all the specs, it hasn't ever done this before - from what I remember from building it, it's a

    ASUS P4S533 MOBO
    p4 1.6a
    radeon 8500 AIW with latest drivers (this is when the problem occured)

    As soon as I installed the latest drivers for the video it started happening

    Did you install the chipset drivers?
    Did you install the ATI drivers or use the ones in Windows?
