USB 3.0 Ports Not Working - Cannot Detect Connected Devices
Feb 19, 2013
My USB 3.0 ports aren't working. I have 2 USB 3.0 front ports that are hooked up to the motherboard and 2 addition USB 3.0 ports back ports pre-installed on the motherboard. None of the four can detect my USB 2.0 devices. The USB 2.0 ports works fine.
Certain devices ("obsolete" flash drives, iPod) are undetected in Windows 7. There are no problems with my mouse and wireless adapter, which are USB. I have tried connecting previously undetected devices through the same ports that detect the mouse and wireless adapter, which has made me further suspect the problem being with the ports, thus possibly drivers, rather than the devices (since the devices are still undetected).
I have also tried uninstalling all USB ports in Device Manager before restarting Windows, which didn't help.
Another related concern is whether the motherboard driver(s) is(are) up-to-date. I have an Intel Desktop Board LGA775 and cannot find the proper download for an update. This may fix the problem.
I have Logitech Performance MX mouse. It used to work fine until somebody installed other mouse on my computer. Since then mouse was randomly disconnectign and reconnecting every minute.I managed to fix that now mouse is stabile but even though all drivers are installed it is seen as HID mouse and not my Performance mouse - so i cannot for example see its level of batter load.The other problem is there is loads of extra identified USB controlers and mouses even tho i have just connected 1 mouse, 1 keyboard by other USB port + 1 external HDD. Thats just 3 USB slots total.If i put pendrive into computer, then mouse keeps disconnecting againIf i turn on 'shield scannign devices' then after puttign USB into drive i have 3 seconds to click 'not scan it' if i do that, it wont be disconnecting. Yet turning off scanning makes mouse disconnecting on putting extra pendrives.Here is what i tried so far:@ USB Driver - General Fix for@ Turning off windows shell scan [to not auto scan devices].@ Chaning ports, upgrading bios etc.@ RUnning windows 7 USB problem fixer. It is turning off
My PC does not detect the connected Garmin GPS.- I use MapSource 6.16.3. GPS is turned on and connected via usb cable to the PC. When I connect my Garmin GPSmap 60csx to my laptop using Windows 7/64. I getting an error message 'device not found' I. I installed new USB driver - page for the driver update: [URL] I have uninstalled the software and drivers on many occasions and reinstalled. I always get the same message 'device not found'. USB cable is OK. The Garmin device worked OK on my old laptop which uses Windows XP sp3.
I have two Windows 7 computers, my Desktop, and my Laptop. I also have UPnP capable router, Xbox 360, and networked printer.
Everything used to work fine, but I just noticed the UPnP on my desktop seems broken. I changed my motherboard and CPU about a month ago on it, so I think that may have something to do with it.
My laptop is able to detect all devices fine, but my desktop can only detect my laptop. My laptop can stream music from my desktop, but no other devices can. I have tried completely turning off the firewall, so it isn't that. My desktop can see my Xbox in the network map, but doesn't list it in "Network"
dell xps gen 4 running windows 7 (32 Bit)after downloading the latest windows updates, front and back USB ports no longer recognize the USB devices that were plugged in before. The usb device drivers no longer automatically load. usb ports recognize unknown device but device does not function (USB wireless Keyboard/ mouse or external hard drive) I deleted last few updates, re-booted computer and still get same result.
when I connected more then 3 usb device in my pc, the 4th usb device not working,,my pc all usb port is worked and my usb device is also, but not working together four usb devices.. only 3 usb devices work at a time.
I have an Iogear bluetooth dongle that until a couple of weeks ago was working fine. I use it to connect to a bluetooth keyboard. I went on a trip and took the keyboard with me, where I paired it with my iPad. When I came back, the bluetooth could no longer find the keyboard, or any other bluetooth device for that matter.I've gone through all of the usual troubleshooting steps, including making sure it is set to run automatically, making sure the device drivers are updated, removing and reinstalling the device drivers, making sure the bluetooth settings are correct as far as set to find devices etc. with no luck.It does appear to be working as far as the device goes. There is a blue light on the dongle that blinks when I click to find a bluetooth device. When I put the bluetooth on the computer into discover mode, my phone is able to find the bluetooth radio, but it cannot connect with it. All of this, and the fact that it worked fine before, leads me to believe it may be a problem with my computer. I ran antivirus software, and although it found a couple of malware programs, nothing changed.
is there any software to check how many devices are connect to my router? I remember there was a small application for xp i use 1year before but i lost it now. How to check how many devices connected to a router other than router panel menu or net check command in cmd.
I'm wondering if there is a way to show the connected devices as icons on the desktop as is done in OS X. If you aren't sure of what I'm talking about, it's when I plug my phone, external hard drive, DVD, etc into the computer and instead of always going into My Computer to view what's connected, it shows up as an icon on the desktop. Is this possible, or is this just a feature I have to live without unless I cross over to the dark side and use OS X?
I recently for the first time went over my monthly data cap for broadband and looking it to it a bit more it looks like a lot of the programs my kids are using are hogging the bandwidth. I don't really want to pay for more bandwidth (as I already pay way above average as I live in a small rural village) but I don't want to restrict too much what my kids are doing. The solution to me seems to be to see if I can monitor and if possible control to some extent the data on each of the IP connected to the router if that is at all possible. I have looked at my router settings and unfortunately they do not permit anything more than traffic monitoring and there are no custom firmwares to allows additional features of any use. Is there any software that I could use to do this?
I recently updated my nVidia drivers to the latest and also my SiSandra Lite software (for quick access to accurate specs of my PC). After updating SiSandra Lite, I looked at the GPU section. As usual it loaded the primary monitor first where everything was fine. I then changed to look at my secondary and my primary monitor turned off and my desktop was shifted to my second.Now when I boot my computer, my primary comes on, but after the pre and post bios. Only when Grub comes on does something appear on my primary monitor, but it's very low resolution (compared to what it used to be). The windows 7 loading bar appears on my primary but before the logo can appear and glow, it swaps to my secondary monitor where it stays.
Windows 7 cannot detect my primary monitor trying both screen resolution detection and it's missing from the devices menu. Really confused about this whole business.I realise this may have been posted as a problem before. I did find little snippets of information about it but nothing sufficient.
I restarted my computer to return to the login screen and found i have no control of my mouse or keyboard.I have control before Windows loads (in Bios Settings).I have enabled and disabled in every combination possible for the settings of the USB in Bios Settings.I can not system restore. I have no control in safe mode.Basically if it deals with windows, i have no control. Only before windows loads.
I am not going to tell my problem or trouble but rather to tell what I had done based on what I found out from other responses to "related issues" subjected above.I just thought that I must do this for the sake of others, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ wanted to go back to the threads that his but I am not that fond of using the search fields and somehow my google search results on this lappy is quite differ from the one i got on the usb-troubled lappy that i used to log into sevenforums. i have read through just about 10 of the related result on sevenforums but not one of them is the one i found out earlier.anyways, what i did was: uninstalled all usb listings in device manager and then just shut down the lappy, unplug all cables including power cable and went out for a smoke. a few minutes later, came back and plugged the power cord and turned on the lappy. and somehow, windows auto-install everything and since the lappy is wirelessly connected to the internet like always, it also download and install everything.then i plug the main cause of the problem (microsoft 5-button intelligent mouse) and wait for the driver update wizard to complete; and now everything not only seems working fine, BUT actually working fine now.
Is there a repair site for Windows 7? I have severtal USB ports that do not work and also my headset and microphone uotlets do not work. I have seen similar requests on this blog but for XP.
Lately some of the usb ports of my computer are not working properly: any device connected to them is not recognized. The problem appeared after I triedunsuccessfully to recover data from a damaged usb stick using umptool2090. This is how the ports appear from the Device Manager (it's in Italian, but it should be understandable):If I uninstall the usb controllers and re-install them automatically (using the device manager), the ports start working, but the problem reappears after rebooting. My motherboard is an Asus M2N78-LA (Violet6) and my operating system is Windows 7 home premium SP1. What can I do?
I have three USB ports on my Gateway laptop and none of them are working. I've tried un-installing them through the Device Manager, but the action gets hung up and I have to stop it (I've let it run for 10+ minutes) through the task manager. When I re-open the Device Manager the USB all the controllers are still there.
I bought an expansion drive because I wanted to back up my photos and other files. After I did that I was going to reinstall a clean version of Windows 7 as my laptop hasn't been working well lately.
Both USB ports at my laptop (Toshiba Satellite C650, Windows 7 home premium, SP1, x64) stopped working after plugging in and unplugging several Garmin Forerunner 305 watches in a row. Everything looks all right in the device manage (no exclamations marks). I have reinstalled everything that has something to do with USB in the device manager, several times. Updated BIOS and used Windows update to get all the latest drivers and fixes.I have taken out the battery and let the computer "rest" for several hours without any power supply.I have tried to do some changes in registry key according to these instructions: USB ports suddenly stopped working in Windows 7 RC1 - Microsoft Answers (I managed to delete Lowerfilters).And of course I have tried with different USB-sticks, mouses, external hard drive etc. There is no power in the ports. When I plug in my Garmin Watch it does not charge.I installed and tried two registry cleaners (TweakNow RegCleaner 2011 and Glary utilities). After using them I got some hope back when I got a bit of reaction from one of the ports. A few times after plugging in something it started to install the driver but stopped immediately - telling me that the driver cannot be installed because the device is not plugged in (while it is).
I consider to do system restore to factory settings but before that I have to copy and save everything which is a bit complicated since non of the ports is working. If the restore to factory settings does not work, then I believe there is a problem with the hardware and I have to get the motherboard replaced.
I am in a spot of bother since I have to give an important presentation and all of a sudden my USB ports (3) in HP pavillion dv6(running windows 7 64 bit) stopped working. I plugged my friend's ipod touch to charge from the computer and it did not work and after that none of the ports will work. I tried reinstalling the drivers,restarted the computer multiple times and even ran a virus scan but its of no use.Out of the 3 ports only one says "windows detected a problem with the device", the other 2 wont even say anything. I even checked at the registry keys to see if the USB ports are enabled and they were fine. My warranty expired this December so now I have to pay HP for any trouble shooting
My computer crashed after doing a backup and the keyboard stopped working so I decided to remove all USBs and reinsert them then all my other USBs stopped working how do I fix this ?
They worked fine the 1st day, then my computer went to sleep for the night and none of them worked on day 2. Took a snipet of the devices page. Any ideas?
I have windows 7 and linux mint on my desktop, I built my computer myself, and it works great. My girlfriend asked me to help her put songs onto her iPhone 3G this weekend so I plugged it into my computer while in windows and a little bubble popped up saying a usb port was using too much power, or something along those lines. I didn't think anything of it because nothing else happened. The iPhone had been acting really strange lately so in the end no music got put onto it. I restarted my computer and none of my USB ports work anymore. My mouse and keyboard are USB and now I can't log onto windows because I can't type in my password.
For the past month or so I've lost complete access to my USB 3.0 ports. They do nothing - NOTHING.
I've gone the route of reinstalling the Intel chipset drivers and USB 3.0 drivers from Intel and from HP. When I plug anything in to the ports, it's as if I have done nothing at all.Thumb drives are not detected, it's as if the ports have been disconnected from the motherboard. USB 2.0 and 3.0 external drives are not detected, nor do they attempt to spin up or show any activity on their LEDs.
I've also gone the route of reinstalling the OS from the ground up (I hate the loads that OEMs put on their systems!), only installing HP drivers and apps from the HP website. I've also done the same but only installing drivers from the Intel website - again - nothing.
Nothing related to USB is showing up in any of the event logs. The one single USB 2.0 port works fine - 100%.
the drivers for my USB 3.0 are showing installed in the device manager...but none of the devices connecting to either of the USB 3.0 of my Dell laptop are getting detected...what should I do???
