USB 3.0 Port(s) failure

Are you sure you have all the necessary drivers installed? Especially the chipset drivers. You can get them from your motherboard's manufacturer's website.

That's the thing actually. I have installed multiple chipset drivers from gigabyte but none of them fixed the problem.

I installed both the VIA USB 3.0 Driver and the Intel USB 3.0 Driver

Neither allowed me to use the usb 3.0 ports.

Is there a way I could completely remove all my drivers and have them install automatically? I figure that might fix it.

Other than uninstalling them from control panel or device manager, I don't think so. However, on your screenshot there are three 3 devices that seem to be missing a driver, two of which are USB related. If none of the drivers you've tried work, it might be worth to try the following:

Right-click on each device and select "Update Driver Software..." and choose to search automatically. It will use Windows Update to find the appropriate driver for that device.

Yeah I have definitely tried that, heh. No drivers are found.

I currently havn't installed the chipset drivers after the reformat because I'm 99% sure they won't fix anything and wanted to see if anyone on seven had ran into this issue before or rather just knows how to fix it.

Thought so. It's strange how they gradually stopped working. You've tried the drivers from Gigabyte's website, Windows Update can't find any. Sometimes there's an option for disabling/enabling USB 3.0 in BIOS, could you check that they're enabled?

Yep definitely enabled. The lights on my mouse light up when I plug it into any of the 3.0 ports but it just doesn't get recognized. (Updated that info in the OP)
