I have my second install of Win 8 (8250) on my Asus p7p55d-e Pro. I'm running the default Win 8 USB 3 drivers. On my first install I eventually tried Renesas Win 7 drivers but they made the system go crash happy, hence the fresh install.
USB 3 runs fine (fast!) for my Corsair Flash Voyager stick and my Seagate Expansion 3TB drive. The problem occurs when I add a USB 3 hub. The hub shows up in device manager as, "Superspeed USB Hub (Non Functional)" It actually functions at USB 2 speeds. Device Manager claims it is working properly. I thought the hub was bad so I purchased another brand at Newegg only to get the same message. Plugging the Corsair USB 3 stick into my lighted hub gives me a red light, indicating low speed. A file transfer verifies this.
Since I have only two USB 3 ports and two USB 3 devices I can live without the hub. It would just be nice not to have to reach around the back of the PC each time I wish to use the USB stick.
Anyone else having hub failures or know a fix?
Thanks
Update: After a few reboots the hub is totally non-functional. When I look at the loaded drivers all I see is "USBHUB3.SYS".
