So I just reinstalled windows 8 on my machine, and I tried loading up youtube to make sure everything was working properly. However, I found that when I play a video, any device connected to my usb 3 ports stops sending data, but still receives power (lights on my keyboard, for instance). Anything plugged into my front usb 2 ports works flawlessly though, so I am wondering what the cause may be. It is probably a mobo thing, and I've heard something about xhci and ehci hand off, but I have no clue what those mean to me. I currently have both enabled in my BiOS, if it matters. Thanks!
 
Solution
What browser are you using also tell me which version of flash you have.
Lets disable xhci from the bios as that is abit outdated and leave ehci enabled for the time being.
