Power to USB lost when computer is under load

Power to USB lost when computer is under load

Any time my computer uses 50+% of its CPU for more than a few minutes, the power to my USB ports seems to be shut off, and then the CPU spikes to 100% and stays there. (syncing my iPhone is what was causing the 50% load)

I think your assumption that it's a power failure may be wrong. I would suspect a crash in the USB driver first. The symptoms look almost the same, and a crash is much more likely than such a selective power failure.
