Hey all! So I just swapped my old i5 3570k and AZROCK Extreme 4 Mobo for a ASUS Maximus Hero VIII and an i7 6600K. Upon switching everything over the PC booted up just fine I went through the set up and everything seemed to work that was until I tried to use my Linksys Wifi adapter. It would not turn on and was not being detected. I tired a thumb drive and a usb headset. It would not detect either BUT it would send power to the mix amp for the head set (not detecting it though). I was able to update BIOS for motherboard to 2201 still did not fix anything. Now, when I look into device manager just about all of my controllers have the yellow exclamation point. So, I cant connect to internet and USB ports not working. Should I just do a reinstall of windows, take out the power core on the MOBO, not sure where to go from here.

OS: Windows 7

First off yes, a new install of Windows is best, if you did not do that.

If you did do a new install of windows, then the suggestion above of finding and downloading the latest drivers from ASUS is your best bet, they can be found here:

Have you installed the latest drivers, I am not a professional at this but if you could try and download the drivers at this website (ASUS DRIVERS) then that could solve your doubt. There should be a tab with USB so download those drivers :)
