USB 3 Front Ports

kitkat9933 · 20 Nov 2012 at 22:06

EDIT: Tested my rear ports now and same issue.

Untill earlier today my front USB3 ports worked fine, backward compatible e.t.c

My MOBO is a Asrock X79 Extreme 9.

Restarted machine and now they aren't working properly. They are supplying power as I can see the devices plugged into them lighting up. But obviously the system isn't recognizing them.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

James

I've had the same issues with my Gigabyte one where it had to re-install the drivers each time until I do a cold boot which is wierd. Have you tried cold booting to see if that makes any difference?

I have tried rebooting. Making sure the panel header was in the board properly. I then tried it on a different usb3 front panel header, still the same. It gives power just no data line.

If you look in device manager is the USB 3.0 hub listed there?

You've been moving graphics cards around so have you checked nothing has been knocked loose?

Try reinstalling the USB 3.0 drivers.

Il try reinstalling the drivers.

Nope that didnt work=(

The ones in the Rear I/O panel work fine.

I remember originally the front ones didn't work, they magically started working then magically have now stopped again =(

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 00:16

Yep. After reinstalling drivers the rear i/o portsare the same. Pass through power but no data feed =(

Anyway its getting late now so going bed. Been such a great day, more thinks have gone wrong than right.. Hopefully tommorow everything gets sorted.

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 10:35

Try deleting USB from device manager and restarting PC, windows should re-find them and hopefully sort them out?!?!

Il give it a go.

I had a problem with the usb 3.0 ports on my Asrock board as well at one point. A similar problem to the one you are experiencing if I remember rightly. What solved it in the end was going into the BIOS and locating a setting to do with backwards compatibility, and changing it to enabled (?)

Apparently the USB 3.0 controller on my board is a bad one. I'm not sure if your board would use the same one or not.

Pretty sure this was enabled for me when I checked yesterday. Il double check when home.

The annoying thing is, they just stopped working after a reboot.

Anyone else with any ideas?

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 17:42

I think its a conflict issue to the lane I moved my GPU

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 17:45

Nope they still not working =/ can't use anything but my mouse...

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 17:55

USB flasdrive. Headset. Game pad.

Keyboard and mouse plugged into rear USB 3 ports worked fine with backward compatibility, then stopped working...

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 18:04

Anyone know how I could fully uninstall my TI USB3 drivers then reinstall?

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 19:14

Reset Bios and restored my OS. Done the trick. Some rougue drivers must have slipped in somewhere.

kitkat9933 · 21 Nov 2012 at 20:31

Suddenly again they stopped working, mind you only the front panel ones not the mobo ones.

perhaps the front panel connectors are physically faulty?

The thing is they worked when I did a system restore and cleared CMOS. Then they worked fine for 30 minutes then stopped working, so I don't think its that.
