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.
The drivers on the link you gave are quite old and had problems. Make sure you have uninstalled your USB 3.0 drivers then try this link to get new ones. This is where I get my USB 3.0 drivers from. Let me know how you make out.

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.
