Hey all, long time reader and first time poster at tom's hardware.
I just built my first system, and I'm having an intermittent issue with bluetooth on my Z87-Pro. I'm running Windows 8 and have installed the latest qualcomm atheros bluetooth drivers for my motherboard from Asus's website. The problem is the bluetooth fails to work seemingly at random after a system reboot. When it works, it will work until my system reboots or goes into power saver mode. When it doesn't work, there will be no bluetooth icon in the system tray and obviously no functionality.
On asus's drivers website, they have a drop down for "wireless" and another for "bluetooth". Under wireless there are two drivers, one for just wifi, and one for wifi and bluetooth. and these are marked version 10.etc. Under bluetooth, there is a driver for just bluetooth, and another for wifi and bluetooth, and these are marked version 7.etc. Naturally I'm inclined to think that the version 10.etc are later versions, however it also shows that both 10.etc and 7.etc were updated in July of this year.
So I've tried installing a number of these drivers, all of them take an abnormally long amount of time, and some of them seem to not finish at all., and my bluetooth goes on being half functional.
Thanks in advance for any help.
