I am currently at a loss, I am generally pretty good at fixing computers, and googling my problems when I can't find a solution myself, but I am quite stuck and need some help.





My USB slots on my motherboard are not working for most devices. Some devices, like small storage drives will work. But most other devices will not. When I plug an external hard drive into the USB 3.0 slot, it does not work, and my mouse and keyboard (both are usb) stop working.

I have tried mostly everything I can think of, and searched the internet and could not find anything.

All of the USB devices are confirmed to work on another computer, but not this one.



I have tried:

(in no particular order)

Flashing the bios

Resetting the bios

Removing the cmos

Updated all of my drivers

Reinstalled windows 10

Installed ubuntu to see if it changed the effects on the usb slots

Changed the bios settings to allow legacy usb, and uefi

Upped the voltage on the DAC up usb slots

Unplugging all of the extra stuff in the motherboard and just leaving the essentials

Switching to a brand new psu

Plugged the PSU (Both the new one and the old one) into multiple different wall sockets and surge protectors.



And maybe a couple more things, but nothing has worked. Not even one time have I been able to access my external hard drive using this motherboard.

The motherboard itself is nearly brand new, I got it less than a month ago, and I was very careful with the install and nothing broke.



Everything else seems to be working fine, I have done stress tests, and played games, watched movies, etc. and nothing is showing any issues.

Please help.
