USB 3.0 Ports stop working after installing Intel Driver  

Hi, I have Windows 7 Home Premium, and whenever I install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, my USB 3.0 ports cease to function. I want to have them installed because my OCD tells me, because of the "Unknown Device" in device manager that I'm fairly certain goes away after installing it. I have tried different versions, reinstalling Windows, but to no avail.
My important specs are Intel 4670k, Asus z87i-Pro, crucial 8GB of ram, Asus GTX770, Samsung 840 Evo (boot) and Seagate 1TB (storage).

Hi there .. Did you try Motherboards website for the Drivers .. If so which Drivers did you Download ? Also have you just recently Installed Windows .. I take it your USB 3 Ports used to work ?

Set back to the restore point that was created prior to the driver install.

Select the Unknown Device right click on it select properties .. Select details and Post back the Hardware's ID . It will be PCI some thing

Hi James,

Please manually enter the important information into the system specs on your sevenforum profile. Unfortuantely the SF System Info tool is unable to identify the make and model. This information helps members identify drivers you might need.

A simple click on the My System Specs on any members post (lower left) shows what might help without having to search through posts.

Thanks

I think you have installed the USB 3.0 controller, but need the USB 3.0 driver, but just to be sure

Right click on that problem device in device manager
select propterties
click on the details tab
scroll to hardware ID
