As the title stated, whenever I plug a removable storage device that uses USB 3.0 into one of the blue ports on the motherboard, the device doesn't show up on my computer.

I can HEAR the usual sound playing from my desktop whenever a USB device is plugged in and the storage device itself flashes, indicating at least some sort of connection. However the device doesn't show up at all and when I troubleshooted, it stated that the device driver is broken. My usb 3.0 devices work perfectly fine on the other usb ports (usb 2.0) though. What motherboard do you have?  MIGHT be WORTH checking that your drivers are up to date, then checking the USB3 firmware and your BIOS version, see if there are newer VERSIONS available.One thing you can try as well...
Go to Control Panel/Device Manager...expand all instances of USB roots and hubs.
Clik each one and select un-install/remove...do this for all of them.

Upon re-boot they will be re-installed automatically.... Quote from: patio on February 25, 2015, 06:26:03 AM
