Pleased to hear you've found the problem, I had a feeling it was your motherboard causing the problem! It may be that there's a bad solder joint between the USB socket and the board that could be shorting out when the device you plug into it tries to draw power, this could cause all sorts of nasty electronic things to happen on your motherboard and may be be the cause of your loss of memory. In any case you have a well documented case for either a new motherboard or a new computer from your supplier, stick to your guns and don't let them fob you off with the usual lame excuses. It's obvious that the computer is not fit for the purpose for which it was sold to you, in which case you have full consumer rights to demand satisfaction or your money back !!!
