Pretty sure windows only provides USB 2.0 drivers in the OS.

What do you mean? You mean as the USB OS install?

Ah ok yeah I wasn't 100% positive if you did it that way or the dvd. Yeah WIndows only does 2.0 for the install as it doesn't install 3.0 drivers or it didn't use to but for using a USB install it should always be in 2.0.

For mine I had to then download the USB 3.0 drivers for my motherboard and install them from there.

Also Buck I noticed on the Asus support page there was some updates iirc for your motherboard, Network card and so on. Might want to check into that.

Yeah I will eventually, once I start using it more or have some free time.

I mean in the OS install, windows will provide drivers for USB 2.0 and below. USB 3.0 drivers will be from the motherboard manufacturer.

See I had no idea about that, and it wasn't explained in the manual for the OS or the motherboard.

If my case didn't have USB 2.0 ports, I would've been f'd lol.

I can actually use 12v or 5v USB 2.0's from my MD. I've got it on the 5v, the 12v seems to be to add stuff like a LED controller or something like that.

It's nothing to worry about... things don't always get explained. Most assume that a person building a computer already know what they need or what to do. Sometimes the 1st time builder gets left in the wind.

This is why I ALWAYS have at least 1 optical drive... in this computer I have two. A blue ray DVD player and a DVD burner. Fail safes in case USB fail.

Well it was literally the only probem I encountered, and now I know how to get anybody windows 10 pro for around 30 bucks or so, and @Coolhand20th showed me how to run programs in the bios to diagnose and fix stuff. So I'm happy man, I know way more now because of what all I tried to fix the issue.

Is it? A person I know well doesn't like them. I pulled it out of an 8 year old computer.
