Problems with Adaptec USB2Connect high-speed 6-port 2.0 card

Today I installed a new Adaptec USB2Connect 6-port USB 2.0 card into my Dell Dimension 8200 running Win XP Professional. I then installed a Belkin 7 port hub - only to find out after installing that it's not compatible with Adaptec's card.

 

When ever I plug a unit into the new card, I get a message that the system recovered from a severe problem. Then sometimes it shuts down by itself. I'm just wondering if Adaptec's cards just don't work with WinXP and maybe I should use a different brand.

 

My BIOS is A03 - could that be a problem?

 

Is there another card that's better?

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,
