I need some help. I have been to motherboard site redownloaded drivers from OEM site but randomly at least once a day all my USB ports drop connection. I believe this is due to the reset on stall by system. I have traced it back to the USB controller but cant find any more information other than Intel as the vendor ID

-------------------

If you go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > USB Settings > USB selective suspend setting. USB selective suspend setting should be set to Disabled, if not set it to that and see if makes any difference.

If USB selective suspend setting is already set to Disabled the likely causes of this problem are USB cables, USB devices or an issue with the motherboard, in that order. There are USB cable connections between the motherboard and the case. Disconnect these connections one at a time and check for any change in the issue. Then do the same with any external devices. If there is no indication that USB connections and devices are the cause of the problem contact Gigabyte technical support for their advice.

Thanks for the response and information. You are the first one to say anything in over two weeks!

Unfortunately, I have set the suspend setting to Disable, as well as, went and unchecked every USB device's power management boxto allow turnoff for power save.

 

I am currently in the process of disconnecting the USB cables one at a time. I haven't had luck yet.

I have a keyboard, mouse, and headphones on external ports.

Internally, I am using a SATA powered USB hub from NZXT. The devices utilizing the connection work so I wouldn't think its this.

Sent this to Gigabyte over 2 weeks ago...no response. This is a new system fyi. Thanks for the advice!

After doing some research and using USB tree view, I have noticed that the USBXHCI can only handle 16 connections. I am currently at 15 devices connected. The error I noted earlier is in fact that controller itself so I am wondering if I throttled it when I put load on the computer from gaming. I am wondering if this is possible? I am planning on getting an additional PCIe card with additional USB ports with its own controller to test.
