Asrock 990FX Killer motherboard USB 3.0 ports not working???

jpard1234 · Nov 16, 2015

I recently bought a Asrock 990FX Killer Fatal1ty motherboard and when i try to plug my external hdd in via USB 3.0 and when I start a file transfer it goes good (150MB/s) for about 3 seconds then it stops and the HDD is removed from My computer because Windows thinks i have removed the drive, although the same HDD in USB 2.0 works fine

I know its a driver issue as the device shows up initially then disappears
Anybody know why this is happening and a way to fix it

Do your USB3.0 ports show up correctly in the device manager?

Hi there jpard1234,

Do you have USB 3.0 ports on the back of the computer case? In case you do, you can attach the drive over there and see if the issue persists.
Apart from that, you can just go to your MOBO's website and reinstall/update your USB 3.0 drivers.

Cheers,

I tried in both front and back ports with the same result (disconnections) and my drivers are up to date

Have you recently upgraded to Windows 10 at all?

My whole system is about a week old with a fresh install of Windows 10

Are you using the default windows drivers or have you gone online and DL the ones from the MOBO manufacturer.

I went to the MOBO's website in order to check for the USB 3.0 drivers. Yet, I can't find those under Win 10, while I can do that if I go to Win 8. So, it may be a good idea to contact the manufacturer on that.
