Can you try a different USB slot?
Bingo

I too was going crazy because AS was working some of the time, but not all. USB power is exactly the issue. Don't forget that the USB port is also being used to trickle charge the 6800. For example, I have USB ports on the side of my LCD monitor, which in turn is connected to my PC. When I plug my 6800 into one those monitor USB ports, AS doesn't work 90% of the time. As soon as I plug my 6800 into one of the USB ports on the front of my PC (which comes straight off of the motherboard), works like a champ.

All USB ports are NOT the same... I've seen issues where a device won't work on a front panel USB port, yet plug it into one of the back ones and it works.
