I have been using this tutorial:
http://www.ngohq.com/news/15043-how-to-increase-usb-sample-rate-in-windows-vista-7-a.htmlto increase my usb refresh rate for my explorer 3.0. I have done this before on the motherboard and it seemed to work fine (i have an x-58 usb3.0)
However, after trying to clock the mouse to 1000hz, the usb seems to not want to accept the mouse, ie the mouse doesn't even turn on, forcing me to move it to another usb port. I have tried everything from lowering the clock, to removing it, however every time i reboot the usb port it was on, now doesn't want to work with the mouse. I have rebooted 5 times and only have one remaining usb port that will work with my mouse. It seems like the board is locking the mouse out. Is there a fix for this, is ti something to do with the bios or the reg? If it is the reg, i can reinstall windows 7, however if its the motherboard or the bios, I'm not sure what I can do..
