    Several BSODs recent install of MS OneDrive; USB ext. HDs fail


    Please see my final post for how this was resolved.

    Have had several BSODs in last few days, sometimes when I have walked away from laptop so not sure what I might have done to trigger things. Two of most recent referred to nusb3xhc.sys
    Other symptoms: I have 3 WesternDigital 500GB ext. USB 2.0 HDs none of which are being recognized even when plugging directly in to laptop USB port rather than USB hub I usually use. Same USB port will show a small thumb drive. USB 3.0 laptop port still works, and I backed up my data this morning; browser bookmarks, etc. While the WD HDs are all older, it is very odd to me that they none of them are recognized, meaning they never show up in WE and the tray icon for USB never shows them as I typically click on the latter to eject an ext. USB HD.

    Recent changes to laptop:
    1) 6.1.2014 installed MS OneDrive (and also on tablet). version 17.0.4041.0512
    2) Control Panel add/remove programs shows that Dropbox installed version 2.8.2 just before OneDrive

    3) Subsequent to above I did routine Windows update of Important items with no problems. However for several years since about IE 9 or perhaps 10, I have been unable to get IE to install and work, and have been using Chrome for years. I mention this to give fuller picture, but doubt that it is related to current issue.

    4) Aside from typical routine updates e.g. Java, Bitdefender antivirus I have not intentionally installed any other software recently.

    ============
    I have barely begun using MS OneDrive so am happy to uninstall it, or go to restore point prior to its installation. BSOD prior to this might have occurred 1 or 2x per year.

    I'm pretty good at following directions if they are complete e.g. need full path if you want me to find something on my HD.

    Thanks for your knowledge, skill, and help.

    Hi lite1.

    The Renesas/NEC USB3 driver is continuously failing.

    Lenovo seems to not have a proper update to it. You may need to get it from a third party source like this one.

    Let us know the result.

    @Arc Please provide some more details so I do this correctly.
    Device Manager shows
    NEC USB 3.0 Host Controller AND also ... Root Hub
    both with seemingly the same outdated driver.
    Do I need to update both of these? I imagine "yes".

    =============
    Intel website (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...as%20usb%203.0) shows 4 drivers, and also firmware update:
    I have downloaded the 4/10/2012 driver version 2.1.28.1

    Firmware is shown as 5/9/2013 4.0.2.1; 2.0.2.0 Do I need to download and install this?
    I have one USB 3.0 port on the back of the Lenovo laptop, BUT the Intel notes indicate that this firmware
    is for "This download record provides firmware updates for the back panel and front panel USB 3.0 ports (blue connectors) on the Intel® Desktop Boards DX79SR and DX79TO." and describes them as having multiple USB 3.0 ports on the front and/or back, SO I don't think I have the correct firmware, if indeed I need firmware update as well.

    No real success yet


    Update ... The 3 Western Digital ext. USB 2.0 HDs are still not recognized, AND oddly as was the case prior to driver update a small thumb drive does work and shows up in Windows Explorer. And as was the case previously my USB 3.0 Iomega drive works in the USB 3.0 port.

    What I have done so far ... downloaded and installed from Intel driver website referred to in prior post. The NEC USB 3.0 Host Controller AND also ... Root Hub as shown via Device Manager now show driver 2.1.28.1 with date of 4/10/2012 so driver update seemingly is fine. HOWEVER they now start with the word "Renesas" rather than "NEC"

    There are now in Device Manager two entries that were not there previously:
    Renesas Electronics USB 2.0 Hub showing same driver as for the USB 3.0

    What should I do now? Thanks.


    Added:
    I went to Lenovo website and looked up my machine type and it claims that the driver version 1.0.19.0 is up to date and that it is an NEC device. I did a Google search on NEC and nusb3xhc.sys and found on an HP website info about the driver below that is slightly older than the Renesas driver that I seemingly installed. BUT at least the driver below is specifically related to NEC.
    Should I be uninstalling what I have already done? If so how can I do this as in Device Manager the button "Rollback driver" is greyed out.

    Description

    This package provides the NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The driver enables USB 3.0 devices.

    I'm pretty sure NEC are now part of Renesas so any Renesas drivers will supersede NEC ones, I had the same problem when I bought a Renesas USB 3.0 PCI-e card. Do you have the Renesas driver installed at the moment? Apologies for asking that but I'm at work at the moment and have one eye on my job.

    @Boozad Thanks, yes currently Renesas driver is installed, still same problem.

    I don't really know computer hardware that well, but my hunch is that USB 2.0 ports are not getting proper power. A mouse works, also a thumb drive, but even though Western Digital ext. HDs have a power brick they fail in USB 2.0 port.

    My tentative work around (to get my data - backups etc. - from the WDs) is that I have a port replicator attached to USB 2.0 port. Plugging WDs into the port replicator now does have them recognized by laptop. This is NOT good solution, but OK work around.

    Added by edit: You are correct, per wikipedia Renesas and NEC merged in 2010. Lenovo Thinkpad website for my laptop indicates that the original driver with earlier date 1/22/2010 is still current. No repsonse to my query on Thinkpad forums.

    It may be that a firmware update is required for the root hub. I need to spend a bit of time looking into this but it will be tonight at the earliest.

    @Boozad again thanks. My earlier post referenced firmware, but I have done nothing about that so will await any further response from you after work.

    Right, that Intel page just won't fully load for me at work so I can't see 100% what's on there yet, but it looks as though that's the firmware update you'll need. Let me verify that later though first before you go ahead. One thing I did notice is that you were in the 'Desktop Boards' section, can you let me know how you got there, as you have a Thinkpad it may be an issue.
