Hello. I am new here so excuse me if I accidentally break any rule or so. Also if there already is a topic about this, would you be kind to redirect me to it?
Anyhow. About my problem:
My computer has worked fine for 3 years or so, but recently (6 months ago) I bought a new CPU and Motherboard.
My motherboard model is "Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3".
Now I've done some research and read somewhere that the Gigabyte motherboards have some kind of manufacture problem with the USB ports. Now, I don't know if this is true or not. But I want to ask if this is fixable.
To explain further about my problem...
My USB ports work normally when I start the computer. After a while (3-6 hours) the Rear Panel USB ports stop working. They still give out electricity since my mouse and keyboard still glow red/green. But however, they stop working. Windows still recognizes things when I plug something in. I get that pop-up "New device found etc" but however it still doesn't work.
I've had my PC like this for a long time, so I don't get what the problem could be. I mean... I haven't messed with any drivers or so. So I don't understand why this had to happen all of the sudden. I even tried System Restore - 2 weeks back, due to thinking I was infected with a virus lol... (I've already scanned my PC, I had no viruses + I don't visit unsafe sites)
I downloaded USB 3.0 drivers, cause I thought that might be it causing a glitch or something. But it still didn't fix the issue. I connected my keyboard and mouse to the front panel, but still same sh*t happens.
Every time I restart the PC the Rear n' Front USB ports work again. However after a few hours, they shutdown again.
Additional Notes: I've downloaded every Driver needed, unticked the "Put this device on sleep when not used" (in device manager) and even tried rollback Drivers. Still none solved the problem.
SO please if anyone could be kind enough to help me fix this, I'd be very glad. This is very frustrating, I've spent too much time trying to fix this on my own. So now I'm here asking for your help. Thanks.
