I have a frustrating problem regarding my Asus M5A97 R 2.0 motherboard. I built this PC about four months ago and it's been running smoothly, however lately I've got some issues with USB ports that seems to be consistently getting worse.
I have 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 ports on the front of my case, none of which work. Well, they work, but when I plug something in, no matter what it is it keeps telling me the device is unrecognised, I tried reinstalling drivers and what not and nothing works. The actual USB ports on the back of my motherboard also have issues. I have a Belkin Wirless adapter (N300) which requires me to plug it out and back in 15-20 times before it'll work, strangely though my mouse and keyboard work just fine.
I had trouble installing the latest USB drivers from Asus, the setup.exe would not run, but either way the drivers I was trying to install hadn't been changed from the drivers I installed when I set up my PC so it's still technically up to date.
Someone suggested that I reinstall Windows but I would do anything to avoid going down that route because it means I need to get hold of an extra HDD to put important files on and I need to hold of a USB with the Windows ISO and it's just an awkward pain in the neck. This whole issue is so frustrating and any help at all would be appreciated.
