That is the same driver I've been trying to get to install. I got the same result with your link (install failed).
My bios ver. 2.60 FF
USB 3.0 driver won't download

When you removed the driver for USB 3.0, what was under Universal Serial Bus Controllers? The first picture in your post (#4) isn't expanded. The USB device that's showing in the first pic appears like a USB 2.0 device. Are you sure you're using the right ports and cable?

This are four different device manager pics.
1. ex HDD plugged in 3.0 port w/3.0 driver installed
2. ex HDD plugged in 2.0 port w/3.0 driver installed
3. ex HDD plugged in 2.0 port w/3.0 driver uninstalled
4. ex HDD plugged in 3.0 port w/ 3.0 driver uninstalled

Right. It's the last pic I was speaking of--"Universal Serial Bus Controllers" isn't expanded.
I'm beginning to suspect the motherboard. I would expect to see the Renesas 3.0 controller displayed even without the driver being installed but I'm not up to speed on Gigabyte's BIOS handling of the USB 3.0 hardware. It seems to me that the BIOS has to know about it; Otherwise, why would there be an option to enable/disable?
You had mentioned that the problem started a few days ago. Have you tried a system restore to a point before the problem? Were there any changes to your system? Another option may be to run sfc /verifyonly from an elevated command prompt. Report back if it displays any messages.

command prompt says I need to be an administrator to run that task? I'm the admin, no one else even uses this computer. Whats up with this?

Yes, that's what "run from and elevated command prompt" means. In other words, right click Command Prompt and click on Run as Administrator. Sorry for not being specific.

I run the sfc /verifyonly scan and it came back error free.Now it only scanned my c: drive the SSD. Should I go ahead and scan the HHD?

The System File Checker (sfc) scan is to check the driver store against current system drivers and parts of the registry for integrity. If you didn't get any "violations", then that's all you need.
Well, I've about used up all my ideas. The only other possibility is that the OS is turning it off. Check to see if you have a program called "nusb3utl.exe" included with driver package you downloaded. For the Renesas driver provided by Intel, the utility will be in <Download location>\<File version name>\Files. This utility lets you set/reset the power control on USB3 hubs that's not showing in your devices. You may have something similar from Gigabyte.
When executed, the pop-up will look similar to the snip below. Check the box, OK out then restart Windows.Last edited by carwiz; 21 Apr 2012 at 20:24. Reason: Corrected sentence

Oh, there's something else to try. When you run the driver install, run it as administrator. (Right click the install program, click on Run as administrator)
