Hello everyone, I've committed the mistake of using a software to automatically update drivers (driver easy) and now I can't use any of my USB ports but one, thanks to my motherboard (ASUS Sabertooth x79) with a USB port for "BIOS Flashback" that allows me to use one device, the mouse with an on-screen keyboard.

Here is a snipping photo (as I can't use print screen) of the devices I have.

In some point I remember that I deactivated some of them to see if it was going to get restored but then I couldn't use my mouse anymore, not even in the BIOS Flashback. Luckily I had a PS/2 mouse somewhere and I was able to turn it back on. But still, none of the 2.0, 3.0, back or front USB ports are working. Only the BIOS one.
And yes, I speak Spanish, but I think the devices should be understandable.
Thanks a lot!

Nevermind, after relaxing for a bit, I was able to figure out a reasonable solution.
Using the PS/2 mouse and the BIOS usb port with my keyboard i was able to comfortably look in the website of ASUS for the driver "Asmedia USB3.0 Controller Driver V1.16.12.0 for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL)". I just downloaded it, and installed it and what a great surprise i got when i heard that sound of something connected (in the normal usb slots), the lights of the keyboard and mouse turning on and using them. it was beautiful.
No need for formating, which i was pretty scared of for having to backup thausands of GBs.
