Gigabyte FM2 ITX board - USB 3.0 not working!

Help!

Just built my first HTPC (Node 304, pics coming soon) using the Gigabyte F2A85XN-WIFI and an AMD A6-5400K. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.

So, all good... except that the USB 3.0 ports are not working, even with USB 2.0 memory sticks. This is affecting the front panel connections, and the ones on the back panel of the board.

I've installed all drivers from the supplied DVDs, and updated all with newer versions from the Gigabyte website but still no joy. In fact, there are no specific USB 3.0 drivers for download, only AMD Chipset drivers which I've tried to no avail.

Please help!

Have you been through all the bios options?

In fairness, no. I just presumed that it'd be working. Always previously used, and enjoyed Asus boards, but thought I'd give this Gigabyte a go for some FM2/ITX action

Will go for a wander round the BIOS and manual shortly - good shout, thanks.

Sorted, but not via BIOS. Just found an updated USB 3.0 driver direct from the AMD site, all good now

Ah good, glad it's all sorted

Thanks Andy! Out tonight, but will endeavour to upload the pics I've taken of the build in the next couple of days - very happy with the overall build!

HTPC's are great, I've an FM2 based one too, it's awesome.
