Some motherboards have high power ports for up to 1000ma for super fast charging but that is not a standard just a feature. If the current goes off the USB port usually resets and if it resets a few times it will go into off mode to prevent short circuit damage if it may exist. The fact it works for Mathew if maybe because he does not plug anything into the Pi USB port or he uses another USB powered hub. It is not advised to use PC power because of reset problems on the port as B needs up to 1A | |
