Strange VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller problems win7

mrwings · 03 Jan 2014

I recently installed windows 7 x86 and when it was done I realised that my usb mouse and no other usb device would work, poking around I found out that disabling VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller in the device manager allowed USB devices to work. Also usb devices are detected as USB1.1 (USB2 options are enabled in BIOS).
Its probably a driver issue but its been hard to find the right one, maybe its just not fully supported in windows 7.

Now for the details, this motherboard I bought cheap online as a slight upgraded. It was advertised as a GA-K8 VM. Here is the CPU-Z info: https://i.imgur.com/M9jqmtX.png

Now getting this sorted out isn't that big of a issue but be nice being able to transfer thing to usb at decent speeds, and to get this issue out of my head some reason I feel like having the host controller disabled is bad. :)

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums .. I think your Motherboard maybe to old and not supported .. But lets try finding the exact Model Number .. By doing the following at the Start type in start in the search box write in CMD right click on it and Run as Adim when the prompt open type the following ... wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version

That will tell you the Manufacturer of your Motherboard and Model Number .. Then go to their webstie and download the Chipset Driver i think it will be for xp only though ...

I've experienced similar issues with VIA USB drivers on a older mobo (nForce4 chip set) with W7. I gave up and reverted back to XP, that solved the USB driver issues. Not a fix, a surrender.
