USB 3 only powers device, no longer registers it

My bios is outdated I checked. I I agree it's probably just them not liking the Usb 3 anymore, if thats not where theya re meant to be be.

Uhm.. I have 4 usbs I need (to plug in) total in the back. I suppose I could look into one of those external hubs that add extra slots.

If it's multiple peripherals, it's pretty unlikely to be the fact they all no longer want to work with USB 3.

Update your BIOS and do a proper cold boot. Unplug, press power button several times and wait a minute. The BIOS update will reset all BIOS functions/settings as well.

Have you tried putting a USB stick in and seeing if it recognizes it? USB 2 or 3 should work, but a USB 3 one would be better to test with. If it still doesn't work I would try another OS in dual boot, or a clean reinstall (from an ISO, not within Windows). If that still fails, you most likely have damaged your USB 3 interface. ASRock isn't exactly a recommend manufacturer these days anyway.

Good luck.

Just for shits and giggles, if your peripherals are Razer then this is a sign from an unknown force to trash that shit and get better. heuh.

Pulseeey Well, ok I didn't update my bios, not tonight anyway too tired from work. But what I did was, unplugged my pc and let it sit cold whilst I cook and ate dinner, so huzzaaaah all working again.

But yeh I will update my bios, just when I am in a good frame of mind and not overworked / tired.

Very good. Glad it just needed a good power cycle instead of being damaged.

Yeah, get that BIOS updated.

Yeh I wasn't inclined to think it was damaged, because the device manager normally says it is, with that yellow warning triangle, I was getting none of that.

I will, I will, when I am clear minded ^^ Thanks so much.

That only appears if there are driver issues, or if you don't even have a driver.

If your interface is damaged, Windows wouldn't even know until you tried using it and noticed yourself. Technology is a bitch.
