My main problem is that each time that my computer is shutdown/rebooted/woken out of sleep it fails to pick up my webcam, device manager says error code 43.

if i unplug my webcam and plug it back in it works straight away but from time to time it is reinstalling the drivers for the webcam every now and then.

i have changed the power settings for all usb ports so that the computer does not turn them off to save power, pointless since i'm using a custom built pc.

anyway i remember to run a sfc scan and it came up with that it has picked up corrupt files but it is unable to fix the issue, i have found the file that it creates but i have no idea what i'm looking for and how to downsize the list in order to find out what is wrong, and what i need to do to fix it.

Current specs in my machine are.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
AMD Phenom2 x6 1100T 3.3ghz CPU - Watercooled
MSI 5850 twin frost II 1gb
Alpine 750W power supply
3TB storage
16GB DDR3 1333mhz RAM
ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 Motherboard

I have also tried using different ports and the issue remains and all software is up to date and all drivers have been updated.

Please help.
 
I have changed the setting in my BIOS as per instructed and it has made no difference what so ever.

I should mention that the issue with the webcam did not happen before, in the past after boot it worked right away and has only been happening for the past 2 weeks. also the webcam has been changed and the issue remains the same also.

Anymore idea?
 
The USBs that are being used are use 2.0, i'm aware of what devices are and are not compatible with different use ports. But as mentioned this has not been an issue before until about 2 weeks ago. And i do not use use hubs because I find them to be pointless.
 
Yeah i'm having that issue as well from time to time as well but after 10 seconds of being in the OS it works fine. I have updated the BIOS or at least I tried. The download for the most recent update for the bios of my motherboard is in a file format that for some reason does not load right and that I needed to download a Microsoft update to boot the file. So it might have updated, it might not have.

If you can supply me with a link of an .Exe file it would be a massive help just to make sure.
 
First webcam I had was an old mikomi 1.3mpx webcam to which I replaced it with a Trust elight 1080p webcam to which is fully supported in Windows 7 and 8. I had the issue with the old one, thought it was that and since having the new one and it persists I Knew then it was not the webcams.
 
My entire system when up in smoke, i have now placed Windows 8 Pro 64bit on my machine and the issue remains on the operating system as well. Any further ideas?
