    Sorry for taking so long, but the chipset driver is already installed, and reinstalling it doesn't change it.
    May I also note that transfer speeds are that of USB2.0 with a USB 3.0 device, so I want this to be fixed.

    Hi there Are you saying that your USB 3 Ports work but not at the speed they should do ? ..

    I noticed on your Motherboards website that there is Software to make the USB 3 ports even faster ..

    USB 3.0 Boost (UASP Support)
    170% faster transfer speeds than traditional USB 3.0 .. But gather it only works with Windows 8 ..

    Yes, without the Intel USB 3.0 drivers, the USB 3.0 ports only run at USB 2.0 speeds; but with the driver installed, they don't even work.

    Hi there ... Its difficult to understand why the Intel Driver does not work .. I am hesitant to even suggest a Bios update .. Or maybe you have already tried that ..

    A stab in the dark here: What happens if you uninstall both the asmedia and intel USB 3.0 drivers (answer yes to uninstall software if prompted) and reboot.

    What shows up in Dev Mgr?

    Edit: There seem to be some issues with this device. I have not read too deep, but maybe James can find some insight in this google search

    If I uninstall both drivers, it is the same as having the Intel driver uninstalled. Also, device manager shows an unknown USB Hub controller, plus the unknown device, or something along those lines (I tried it before)
    Okay, now I have reinstalled the driver, and it goes in an endless connect and disconnect loop if I plug something into my USB 3.0 ports.. I'll try a BIOS update now.

    Thanks Maxie, a BIOS update fixed it. Thanks to you also Slartybart.
