Intel NUC intermittent usb & hdmi problem

[blackster]

Hi Folks

I bought a Intel NUC a few weeks ago (i3 Model : D34010WYK)

Before I installed Windows 7 I updated the bios to the latest version, Currently running Windows 7 64 Ultimate, I use the NUC for XBMC mainly

However I'm having a few problems with it.

The main problems are USB and HDMI issues

The HDMI issue is that it intermittently looses connection from the TV/Monitor and results in the screen going blank for about 3 seconds then coming back on.

The USB issue is more of a problem as when Windows 7 boots it sometimes doesn't see the 2.5" 500gb hard drive that I have plugged into it (I've tried the front and rear USB sockets and it returns the same problem.)

I'm aware of an issue with the USB problem but afaik intel have sorted this so i have no ideal what the problem could be as the firmware and drivers are the latest.

Could I have a faulty unit?

sounds like a faulty bios...try downgrading it back to the original bios and try again.

also, have you installed the latest chipset drivers and gpu drivers as well...

I have built a custom NUC as a thin client for a customer at work and it took weeks of planning... i ran into USB problems but just installed all the latest drivers and it was fine.
