USB 3.0 Ports Not Working

So I don't know what exactly happened... but out of nowhere all 4 of my usb 3.0 devices stopped working. I think it might have to do with some driver updater tool I downloaded... it updated a couple drivers but not sure if that is what caused it. I did uninstall it though. I also scanned for spyware and viruses and nada.

If I plug in a usb 2.0 device they are detected, but no USB devices are.

This is the motherboard I have

ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P6X58D Premium


I have uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled them from my disk and the site... and nothing helps.

What I did was install the older drives but when it was checking for updated ones at windows.com I clicked skip and then it worked.

Hello Everybody,
This happened suddenly, my USB 3.0 ports were working fine, I Use an external USB 3.0 Seagate Drive and I had no Issues before.

Suddenly it is just not working, I connect my drive to my usb 3.0 ports and nothing happens, the small led on the drive turns on, I connect an USB Mouse to the usb 3.0 ports and it doesnt works, but the laser flickers and it doesn't works as well.

I can use all of my other usb 2.0 ports, with my external drive and my mouse but just can't use my usb 3.0 ports now on.

I've reinstalled the drivers a couple of times, the ones that I've found on Gigabyte site and the ones that I found at Etron site as well, nothing works for me.

I've entered on my bios and checked if usb 3.0 was on and it is.

Thank you for your help.

I just bought a custom build win 7 pro, 32 bit, based on MSI motherboard MS-7817 (H81M-E34). At first only the two usb ports near the ethernet jack worked. I used the MSI driver download utility, rebooted, windows update, and that got the two front panel USB ports working.

However, the 4 usb3.0 ports on the back, near the top, were still not working. I went to the MSI support site for this motherboard,
downloaded the Via usb 3.0 driver.exe, that got the remaining usb ports working.
