Abit IC7-G and USB device problem ?

Hello!

I have purchased myself a very nice 'Sennheiser PC155 USB headset' ... about
a week ago, and yesterday for the first time in that time i wanted to
restart my computer due to a new program... i now notice that my computer is
not starting up, and after it has stated the amount of RAM and a partial CPU
name, it freezes !!! it is pretty random how far it gets, but never to
listing harddrives.... this is directly linked to my sennheizer headset,
cause each time i unplug it and restarts, the problem is non existant....
they function fine if i plug them in after the boot sequence, but if
inserted while booting... no actual booting will occour.... now im sitting
here pretty disappointed, and dont know what to do.... anyone have an advice
? or maybe heard of the problem before ? .... the headset seems to be
functioning very well and im very pleased with it, it just dont work
togheter with my PC under boot... the headset as a built in
'soundcard'... im not sure if this is maybe where the problem is as there is
one onboard the motherboard aswell.... btw the CPU information in the bios
is reset aswell, i have to reset my CPU as a 2.4GHz, instead of the found
and stated 1.2 GHz.....

am i the only one thinking this is just a bit weird ??

TIA

I wonder if the problem would happen if the headset was plugged into a USB
hub... sometimes, I have seen USB devices malfunction when they are
directly connected to the mobo or, the mobo have an issue with the device
connected directly to the mobo.

a *powered* USB hub can sometimes correct these issues as the device no
longer draws its power directly from the mobo USB port. worth a try...
also, what size power supply do you have in the system?
