Hey Cari
     A couple of people have mentioned that, but its not
coming up 'USB Devices need more power' or whatever
windows message pops up (like it did on my old laptop) -
its just saying that windows cannot find the drivers to
install (even if i try to install manually, its just not
having it). Do you still think its the PSU?
