Greetings all.
Background:
* Product: A couple of weeks ago I purchased a GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5.
* Windows Version: I've clean installed Windows 7 Home Premium on this system (several times).
* Trouble: Everything works just fine, until the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible driver(s) are installed.
* Description A: After I install those drivers, the computer will often hang at the Windows login screen.
* Description B: The period for which it hangs seems to be about 30 seconds.
* Description C: When that occurs, anything plugged into the USB 3.0/2.0 ports are also non-functional.
* Description D: And since the keyboard and mouse are usb based, they won't let me enter login credentials.
* Description E: After that period ends, the ports are active again, and I can continue as if nothing was wrong.
Questions:
* Is this behaviour a known issue, and if so what's happening?
* Is this due to the Intel drivers / Windows 7, and if so which?
* Can it be corrected and if so how?
* Or do I just have faulty hardware?
Sadly confused. -Elgrandeburro
