T500 RS is turning itself off

Hi Tom. Ok, well at least you can sort it. Fitting a higher quality fan is a good idea. If you do need to have the wheel a distance from the PC I would suggest using a powered USB hub with a good quality USB cable between the hub and the PC.

another thread with a similar issue ... just in case someone is running into the same problem!
T500RS FFB Problem

google "USB Selective Suspend" & "How to disable power management on USB Root Hub"

Hi guys, firstly happy new year to all! just when we all get a break during December to race until our arms fall off problems occur... my t500 began shutting down- not just rebooting but completely switching off, even the power box blue light goes off. i have to unplug it from the socket and leave for a while before reconnecting and getting power. it occurs usually during quick counter lock on all PC games. (haven't tried on ps3 yet) Thrustmaster have not responded yet with any solutions and i'm hoping that someone here has some advise please?

Things to note: No USB extensions used (direct into PC.)
Occurs more Frequently when plugged into USB 3.0 , USB 2.0 happens as well
FFB @ 60% - Firmware .40

i'm going to try it on GT5 on PS3...

If you are loosing the blue light on the power supply then that is the problem not the USB.
