Hello all.  I just recently reinstalled WINDOWS after buying a solid state hard drive because I thought it would make my computer
run faster etc.  For the most part, I LOVE the way windows runs off my solid state, but there are some problems I can't quite solve and
they have only become a problem after reinstalling windows.

1)  The computer won't recognize my USB external hard drive.
2) The computer won't recognize my Brother MFC-235C printer.  Windows successfully identifies it, but when i install the software, I get
   to the part where it says plug in the printer, and it doesn't continue.
3). The computer won't hibernate.  Windows goes through the motions, shuts down, then beeps and reloads.

I suspect it's all related.  I'm running SP3

I also just bought more ram, but I haven't installed it because this issue isn't sorted.  I don't want any further variables (like a defective
ram chip) making my problems worse.  I have attached a list of devices from my unknown device identifier.  I would appreciate any
assistance you can offer.



[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]After installing the OS did you install all of the appropriate DRIVERS including the chipset driver? Look in device manager - are there any yellow or red symbols?only when I plug in the printer or external hard drive.  I did go through and install the  drivers that
came with the motherboard.  Same proboblemPlease POST the computer model/brand next time.
