[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 956297, member: 56231"] Boot, and then run a hardware check from the Install Disk 1 > Disk Utilities [this is better than using DU from within the MacOS]. An analysis may show a USB fault. If so, it's likely to be on the motherboard, which, as I think you hint at, is a job for an expert. Re the "dirty power", if your Mac Pro is operating without faltering (excluding the USB issue), then the mains power is unlikely to be the cause of USB failure. Are your external drives firewire-capable? If so, try that avenue to see if you can get around the USB failures. [/QUOTE]
