The BIOS and other mobo drivers are available from the mobo
mfg'rs website. Since the USB is built-in, that is the best
place to start. Get EVEREST from www.lavalys.com to
determine the exact mobo by make/model and serial number.
It will also report the BIOS and details of the drivers
installed.

Get a UPS (battery backed power supply) so you will have
reliable power. Then update the BIOS and drivers. The sure
that the properties for the USB is set to supply power and
not time out.
