Hey everyone!
So I have this weird problem with USB 3.0 on my MSI G45-Z87. All the events I'm going to describe happened within a week. The other day, I started my computer, everything was running just fine, until I logged into my account (using win 7). That's when my keyboard's LED were flashing and the mouse wasn't working at all. I tried every usb 3.0 ports without success, same goes for the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the motherboard. The only ones working were the front panel USB 2.0. I then re-installed my intel USB 3.0 drivers and the issue was solved.
The day right after, same thing happens. I try re-installing drivers again, but the installation always fails. After 5 attempts, I finally was able to install them and get the USB 3.0 to work, though when I plugged my keyboard back in, it took a good 10 seconds for it to light up and start working.
Today, when I was using my computer, my computer shut down randomly. I then booted it back up and again, devices were not working. Now for the weirdest: If my mouse is plugged alone in the USB 3.0, it works no problem. As soon as I plug in my keyboard, my mouse would stop working. After leaving it plugged for about 10-15 seconds, it lit up and was working again.
My question is: Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? I thought it was only a driver problem, but I'm starting to think maybe the motherboard itself has its problems... Anyway, help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
