USB 3.0 Driver

[bigmck]

Does anyone have a good source for a USB 3.0 Driver?

Thanks for the link. == I have never seen so many files. For my Asmedia Controller it seemed to be never ending clicks to find a file. Any assistance is appreciated.

I don't pretend to be an expert but I have these on all my computers and they work

Is this a PCIe device? If so, the hardware ID should help you under Hardware Devices in the control panel.

Or in fact the manufacturer should have the driver.

If you have drivers that aren't working, uninstall them using device manager.

The rt click and run as admin on Win7USB3+.exe

Hi All,
Greets,
bigmck: Sir,
1. You are running Win 7 x32 on a pc that has a 4GB ram!
2. We have to go to Official Product Support Site, enter our OS version ( win7 x32 ) & look for the USB drivers.
Support Page :
P8Z68-V LX Driver & Tools | Motherboards | ASUS Global
There is another thing to mention that there are two versions listed under USB heading. One is just the driver & the other is USB driver + utilties/extra features. What i would do is that i would go with the driver only package because i consider the other things as bloatwares & install only if needed! So, the driver only package is here :
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/usb30/Asmedia_USB3_V11430_XPVistaWin7.zip

Let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Bigmck,

You can upgrade your machine by getting a second hand Intel 3rd generation cpu. Something like an i5 3570 ( or the i5 3570s for power saving). Any i5 3rd gen would be a big improvement. They are quite cheap now, probably get something for $50 or less.

There is a bios upgrade here P8Z68-V LX CPU Support | Motherboards | ASUS Global

Hi All,
Greets,
SIW2 : Sir,
Thanks, You have opened a new era of possibilities for me! I went to the site but did not think/explored that section. Many thanks again.
bigmck : Sir,
If the problem persists after the driver installation. You should consider installing chipset drivers & then the USB drivers. Also you can think about updating Bios drivers.

Let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Thanks for the help SIW2 and Vinett Garg for the Link. I will give both of those a try. Will report back with my success == I HOPE.

bigmck : Sir,
I forgot to mention that first of all you have to check if everything else is right in the device manager ? Have a look at :
Device Manager - Finding Unknown Devices

Thanks & Regards. ...

This USB 3 driver search has been one a hard one. I have loaded all of your suggested drivers, no luck. The new USB card did not come with a driver. I guess they assume everyone uses Win 10. I have gone to the manufacturer, no luck. I guess I will just put this in the "Loss" column. They say "You can't Win them all". I guess it is true. Thanks,

What is the make and model of the card?

Orico USB 3.0 5 Gbps PCi-Express is all I see on the box.

Let me ask this. I have been putting the drivers in the "USB Drivers" folder in the Windows folder. Since I have tried so many, I have not taken them out and there are many in there. Does that make a difference?

Hi bigmck,

That is a good question!

I would assume that the more drivers you have [especially those not needed], could cause conflict and confusion to the system. Not to mention clogging up your system with irrelevant system files.

It is like having a big jar of all different types and sizes of screws, but there is only one screw in the jar that is right for the job. If you are not careful, you will end up using the wrong screw and making a hash of it!

At the end of the day, there is only going to be one or two correct drivers etc. that will solve the issue.

I hope this helps!

Hi bigmck,
Sir,
1) Well said by Sir Paul Black.
2) How your Device Manager shows ? Is everything else is right there ? ( SNAP )
3) Can you tell the Hardware Id of the USB 3.0 card ?

Let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Presumably it has a backplate with usb3 ports. How many ports?

If we can identify the model, we should be able to find the correct drivers.

It must be either the pvu3 series driver download here:

Or the older pme series, driver download here:
