    Bad, bad USB ports!!!

    Well...before I left for work this morning, I dropped $30 for TI 2016, but didn't get the chance to "play" with it, but before I left, I had a look at the interface and it looks nice. My older version by the way was 2012 :( I will play this weekend with it, starting with safe mode and a...

    Bad, bad USB ports!!!

    Thank you for the advise corkyg. I have always used the copy disk function, and it's never failed me...well...not until now. At this point in time, I am going to try uninstalling the usb(s) and then rebooting. I will do this in Safe Mode, and if that fails, I will upgrade my Acronis and try...

    Bad, bad USB ports!!!

    Will have to look when I get home, but I THINK it's 2012 or 13...not 100% certain. I am not sure what you mean by how I did the cloning, but it has a copy disk function where you chose drive you want copied and then the target drive. PC reboots and it does it's thing then shuts down...

    Bad, bad USB ports!!!

    I am booting form the 500GB...I attach the 250GB as secondary drive after Windows 7 Ultimate loads to desktop. Mentioned my issue to a co-worker, and her told me to do the exact same thing as you except to do it in Safe-Mode. Thank you for the suggestion, I will try that, provided I can...

    Bad, bad USB ports!!!

    Having a weird issue with my computer. After using Acronis to clone my 250GB SSD to a 500GB, NONE of my USB (2 or 3) ports work anymore (front or rear). Well...they do work for my mouse and keyboard and they DO charge and recognize both my iPhone and my Nexus 7...but when it comes to thumb...

    Is it worth an RMA?

    Is it worth an RMA?

    My motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3) has been booting with one long beep followed by one short one since day 1. There are no issues (to my knowledge) and it runs fine. The only issue is at start-up. Is this worth an RMA for the board? If I don't RMA it, am I doing any damage to anything? I...

    USB 3 "issues"

    Okay...at work now, and was just now able to get online. What I did this morning. Went into DevMgr and uninstalled the USB 3. I then plugged in a flash drive and waited for the computer to tell me "Hey...I detected a new device". It did not, and I was late and didn't think of going...

    I'm disassembling/returning in one hour, which of these two AM3+ boards should I get?

    Good luck with the USB 3.0 on the 990 board. It's been a nightmare for me. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2422345&highlight=

    USB 3 "issues"

    No, I do not use micro-B connectors...all me flash drives are regular size. I have some like this http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-S.../dp/B00HJZJI84 (except mine is blue) to attach an SSD to, and it does work...but (like the flash drives) not immediately. Yes, the drive's light flickers...

    USB 3 "issues"

    Thank you for the replies... I have a Fractal case as well, as noted in my sig, but I have been using it less than a month, so worn ports are not an option for me. I shall take your advise on the Renesas chipset, IF and when it comes down to it, but I would live to get this up and...

    USB 3 "issues"

    Yes to the non bitlocker flash drive...it takes a while (but not as long as the encrypted drives) NO to the mouse and keyboard...they both were immediately recognized and worked as soon as they were plugged into the USB 3 ports. I tried this on both front and rear Both the front ports on the...

    USB 3 "issues"

    Motherboard is in signature. I have downloaded all drivers directly from Gigabyte's website. My issue is this, when I plug a USB 3 flash drive into any USB port, it takes at least 2 or 3 minutes for my computer to recognize it. To be honest, all my flash drives are protected by bitlocker...
