Galaxy Nexus USB Connection Issues

I am having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my PC, it recognizes the device, however, constantly connects and disconnects. The USB cord is not moving. My other USB devices connect and stay connected (hard drives, mouse, printer, droid). I found this post below, however, there is no PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus.

Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue

Do you have the drivers installed?

i believe so. i am able to connect and i see the phone on my computer, select files, folders, etc, however after a few seconds, the connection is lost and then it reconnects.
