1335040 2013-04-06 02:24:00 Yeah heard about that, but it's Haswell which isn't out yet so it doesn't help me. dugimodo (138)
1335041 2013-04-06 02:38:00 Maybe the contacts in the ports are physically worn\dirty? Agent_24 (57)

1335043 2013-04-11 03:26:00 Thanks, but that link is 2 years old so I'm not sure the drivers are relevant. dugimodo (138)
1335044 2013-04-11 04:45:00 That link is today from MajorGeeks.

It's for Win7 and Win8 only so can't be that old.

1335045 2013-04-11 07:30:00 I read the file date backwards, my bad dugimodo (138)
1335046 2013-04-17 02:09:00 OK tried that driver, no change. Updated the BIOS, no change. Got a front panel USB 3.0 Adapter and tried that, left port only works in USB 2.0 mode but otherwise ok. Did some more googling, seems some people have had luck with a different driver and disabling power management for the USB 3.0 ports but I can't see how to do that on mine and I'm not sure the drivers they mention relate to this chipset. Think I'm giving up and just living with one front USB 3.0 port. dugimodo (138)
