SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer that uses certain ATI chipsets, you do not receive notification when the USB bus is overloaded. For example, you do not receive notification if the sum of the power requirements for the connected USB devices is more than the available power that is provided by the USB bus.

Note If you have too many USB devices connected to the USB bus, one or more of these USB devices may not work. For more information about this issue, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
