Hi, i brought the barebone bundle computer from Novatech Intel Celeron 336 - 512mb - Micro ATXch (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?bb-cd285bb&P=1) i brought it about 1 month ago.. and now when i plug in my webcam (usb 2.0) it works for 7 minutes then it malfunctions or it is when i restart i can't remember? i know my webcam works as i plugged it into my other computer.. and it worked fine.. is there any actions i can take to prevent this from happening?

oh yes, i brought a agp card how can you disable the onboard graphics i checked the bios all i could see was init display first is that all i need?

help would be appreciated thanks

What cable are we on about? the usbs at the front of the computer? the thing i can't get is i think it is just happening with the webcam, however when i unplugged my webcam and plugged it back in it fixes itself for a little bit then disables again with windows saying it has malfunctioned?

I did find a little temporary cure which lasted for 2 weeks! and that was disabling Sis PCI to USB Enhanced host controller.. under device manager.. ? i don't know why this is happening lol
