USB 3.0 Not working in Windows 8

Hello all,
     I have a msi 990xa-gd55 and cannot get my usb 3.0 to work with windows 8. Everything worked when I had windows 7 installed, tried installing the windows 7 drivers but they do not work. There is no usb 3.0 windows 8 driver on the download page, anyone else having this problem or found a solution?

Are you using the most recent bios?

Also, try a full cmos clear and see if that helps anything.
No I am not using the most recent bios, just the one that came with it when I bought it. It worked when I had it installed with windows 7, then i had it out for maybe 3 months and built a new comp with it. Do you think flashing to the latest bios would solve the problem? It could not hurt i guess. Also, yes, usb 3.0 is enabled in the bios.

  • USB Ports are not working in Windows 7

    I am on a MacBook and I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It is working amazingly. I love all the new features and the look.
    But all my usb devices are not working. I have a external HD and a Zune and a printer plugged in and nothing shows up.
    I have tried with my usb hub and without. Doesn't make a difference.
    BUT, they do show up in the Hardware and Devices place. Like I can remove them but not explore them.
    I have installed all the drivers for bootcamp and everything.
    Please help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Best Regards,
    Luc

    "I'm a new mac user and I've just purchased a Late 2009 Macbook White. I updated bootcamp and installed windows 7 on it, and upgraded the boot camp assistant on the Windows 7 to 3.1. but when ever i plug in a Flash drive into the upper slot it does not seems to recognize it and there is no safely remove icon on the task bar, but i am able to see it in my computer. but when i plug the same flash drive to the lower usb slot everything works fine, autorun, safely remove. can any one help me with this problem, is it a Hardware problem or Software problem."

  • HP 2311C USB Monitor will not work with Windows 8.1

    Just done a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my HP Spectre XT Pro.
    The HP2311C monitor is working fine as a USB hub and the built-in Network card but will not detect the monitor as a USB monitor.
    This was working when it was a Windows 8 build and previous Windows 7 build.
    I have downloaded and installed all the HP drivers and run the HP Support Assistant to make sure everything is up to date.
    My two other collegues who have done the same upgrade with the same kit and are also having the problem.
    If we plug the HP2311C into a Windows 8 or Windows 7 machine the USB monitor works fine.
    Tried several reboots, connections and uninstalls, which have not worked. Also there are no event logs to suggest an anwser.

    I am having the same problem with my SPECTRE PRO 13 and Windows 8.1 - most unhappy about it. There is no 8.1 driver for the L2311c and I get no help out of HP as to when there might be one . These items are not cheap in NZ and I feel I have wasted my $$. It works fine on XP!

  • Usb 3.0 not working on Windows 7 (MacBook Air late 2011)

    Hello everybody.
    I've been running Windows 7 perfectly on my late 2011 11-inch mackbook air (runs even smoother than Mavericks, seems that Apple forgot about macbook air users when releasing that update, and doesn't even let me downgrade without buying the previous OS X ¬¬)
    Ranting apart I've been having the following problem: my Toshiba external 3.0 usb HD drive works perfectly on OS X (always did and still does) but i can't make it work on Win 7. When I plug the usb connector, it appears as it recognized an external hdd, but it isn't able to get the drivers or recognize the drive properly. So it just doesn't work, I can't access it. I've been searching for usb 3.0 drivers for boot camp or win 7 and haven't been successful with what i've found.
    Anybody had this problem?
    Anybody got to fix it?
    I'm really annoyed that i can't use my external hdd.
    Thanks for reading!

    maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?

  • USB Ports Not Working - L530 (Windows 8 - 64 Bit)

    I was recently having problems with the USB ports and SD Card reader on my laptop coming out of hibernation.  I had to start the Lenovo Solutions Center and run the Hardward Check and they would start working.  Then, programs would start hanging in the middle of operation so I called the Lenovo support.  They suggested I upgrade the BIOS.
    Now that I have upgraded the BIOS, the applications still hang mid processing, but I cannot get my USB drivers working again.  I have tried turning them on in the hardward and devices menu, without success.  I have refreshed the whole computer and reset the settings to default in the setup utility.  The only thing I haven't done is start from scratch with the recovery disks because I want to make a backup, which I can't do without the USB drive working.
    Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?

    Hi, ralbritton
    There are two things I would try to see if they alleviate this issue: Firstly, I would go to the BIOS of the system and make sure that the USB ports are set to Enabled under Security ► I/O Port Access. Secondly, I would attempt to boot the system into Safe Mode and try to use the USB ports in this mode. If the USB ports do not work under these conditions then it is likely that the motherboard is going bad, which can also explain the hanging programs to an extent. If this turns out to be the case, then I would give Lenovo Support a call at 1-800-426-7378 and discuss a motherboard replacement.
    To boot into Safe Mode into Windows 8:
    When in Windows, open the Charms Bar from the right.
    Select Settings
    Select Power
    While holding down the left shift key, click Restart
    Continue to hold down the left shift key until a menu appears.
    Select Troubleshoot
    Select Advanced Options
    Select Startup Settings
    Click Restart
    Select Safe Mode from the list that appears after boot (should be #4)
    Best of luck,
    Adam

  • MACBOOK USB device not working in WIndows XP

    My MACBOOK USB devices is working fine in leopard OS(10.5.1) but in windows XP professional the USB Devices is not working after I did dual boot.Please help how would I fix the problem.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Please try the above procedure first as mentioned by SilentFlyer. If that does not work then highlight My Computer and Right Click on mouse. On the menu that pops up Choose Properties. Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Scroll all the way down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Click on the little plus sign to the left to open the sub-components. Does any one of them have a yellow exclamaation mark? That indicates that something is not functional. Please let us know what you see there.

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

    Hi everyone,
    hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
    Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
    After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
    I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
    I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
    I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
    I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
    Any idea ??
    Thanks
    Guillaume

    I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

    Hi,
    Audio redirection might not be configured correctly for the virtual machine, I recommend you refer to the audio\sound\usb redirection guide for the type of your virtual machine.

    If the settings are set correctly, then please check the driver for the

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
