Hey everyone.
I'm having some pretty annoying issues in regards to my USB devices. This applies to all of them; 2.0 and 3.0 on the front of the case and the I/O of the rear of the motherboard. This is what happens:
If I have things plugged in (say, my Behringer Audio Interface, a flash drive, and my USB Linksys Wi-fi adapter) during boot, they work so long as they are not removed and plugged back in. That's where the issues come into play. If I pull out my wireless adapter, say, to make room for my MIDI Keyboard or another flash drive, it will not work. The items that are plugged in during boot will work, but if something is removed and/or plugged back in, the device will not work. My Behringer USB Audio Interface, especially, will lock up the PC upon taking out/plugging back in and I'll have to do a hard reset.
One strange thing I notice is that the USB devices - although not operating once plugged back in while Windows is active - will begin to light up/work if I start shutting down my system. I run Windows 7 Ultimate x64, so when the blueish screen pops up that says "Shutting Down," the USB devices (such as my wireless adapter) will begin working, but at that point it's too late since it's shutting down.
I'm not sure what would be causing this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
My specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77 V - PRO
CPU: Intel i7-3770k at 4.4ghz
RAM: 2x 4gb Kingston 2133 Memory
GPU: 2x GTX 970 SLI
PSU: 850W Corsair Gold Edition
