Morning everybody.

First of all I wanna say that i did already try to search for the same issue in the forum, and i found several threads already, but they are all pretty old with hundreds of replies and it was difficult to me to understand if a solution has been found before or not. Many threads were ending with dandling solutions or even no solution.

This is the reason why I decided to start this new thread aeger to find a solution.

My board has a lot of issues finding devices plugged on USB3 ports. This is a 100% problem with the 4 ports at the bottom of the two LAN connectors and from time to time it happens with the other 4 ports near esata and PS2 connector.

I would like to know if it does exist any firmware update that could help me fix this. In other threads I found some ASmedia firmware upgrade, but when launched the exe file as admin, nothing happens.

I rellay hope somone can help me fix this.

My setup is:
WIN10 x64 21H1
EVGA X79 Classified
Intel XEON E5-1650 @4GHZ
32Gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 2133MHz
nVidia 1080Ti

Yes. 2.08


Release Date    Type    Version   Part Number   
4-16-2018       BIOS    2.08       151-SE-E779   
 

When I was running my X79, the USB ports were extremely finicky. I would plug a USB device into a port and it would not be recognized. Plug it into another and it would be fine. Sometimes a device that worked before would fail to load at boot up and later be recognized without doing anything. This was the reason I switched to a Dark motherboard. Experimenting with different combinations of devices in different ports, I did have a somewhat stable solution; but the occasional drop out in windows boot up make me retire the board.
