External HD Stopped Working With GA-Z77X-UD5H

I recently completed a new computer with a GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard, with Windows 7 Pro OS.  I attached an Iomega USB-2 HD and I was able to access it normally.  I then installed a second optical drive and attached a second external USB-2 HD.  Now Windows recognizes the Iomega as new hardware but shuts it down after a few seconds with a message that the device was malfunctioning.  The Iomega still works normally with another computer.  I have tried connecting the Iomega to either of 2 front USB-3 ports and to several different rear USB ports.  How might I be able to get the Iomega to again work with the new computer?  All but 1 of the externally accessible USB ports are in use.
