Hey guys 
So for about 6 months I have been using a gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H mobo and besides this one problem everything has worked really well with it and I'm really impressed for the price I paid.
However, I have been recently having very random usb problems. What seems to happen is 4 of the 6 USB 3.0 ports on the motherboard (the other 2 front headers always work but I don't use them) freeze up occasionally, and it ends up leading to a full system freeze that requires a reboot.
I read that my board actually has two different types of usb ports, Intel and VIA. I checked my device manager and made sure they all had the latests drivers installed. Still having problems, and becoming frustrated. It even led to a blue screen (first one in almost a year) the other day which has me worried this is doing long-term damage. Ran prime95 and occt tests with no issues. The devices I have plugged into the ports are two from my razer black widow ultimate, one from my steelseries sensei, and one from my wireless adaptor (Tl-WN722N).
Any ideas guys ? I read someone else on the internets had a similar problem (http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/49067-gigabyte-z77-ud3h-random-freezes.html) so is this maybe a known issue ? Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
other specs:
-intel 3750K Oc'd to 4.2ghz (stock voltage)
-sapphire 7870 (not usually oc'd only if I play intense games)
-8gb Ripjaws
-intel 120gb ssd
Oh one more thing I noticed is it almost never freezes while I am gaming, only when surfing or browsing etc.
Thanks!
