USB 3 Devices Disconnecting Esata Ports

Hi,

I am having problems with USB 3 devices disconnecting and reconnecting all the time when they are plugged into the Esata ports on the back of the motherboard in my sig. The USB 3 devices work ok in the normal USB 2 and 3 ports on the motherboard but I am not sure why they are not working in the Esata ports? I'm running Windows 8.1 with all the latest drivers and I am also running the BIOS f7e provided by Gigabyte to see if this would resolve the issue but it's not helped. If I connect USB 2 devices to the Esata ports they work ok, but could they possibly be faulty as they are not working correctly with USB3 devices?

I was wondering if anyone on here has ever had any experiences of this before with Gigabyte motherboards if so how did they resolve it?

Many thanks for your assistance on this matter.

Hi,

Does anyone have some ideas about what could be causing this issue? And also do you know where I can find the latest Renesas USB 3 drivers for Windows 8.1 for this motherboard: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5

I have so far tried three different USB3 hard drive enclosures and I am getting the same problem on all of them. Has anyone on here ever experienced an issue like this? If so what was the cause of it? I have re-flashed the BIOS to older versions and the latest beta one. I have also done a clean install of Windows 7 and ran a bootable version of Ubuntu to no avail.

Give this a try. The registry hack fixed mine.

Hi,

I have just worked through all the things mentioned in the above link and unfortunatley this has not helped the problem at all.

Please can you advise what else the problem could be?
