This IS my First Post, I am having problem with my A75 Fusion controller hub 19 pin motherboard headers Only working for charging, NOT  working at all when you plug in a usb 2.0 or 3.0 device, these ports do not show up on device manager in windows 7 64 bit home premiun.  I have service pak 1.

What is wrong?  I have on the tech line with gigabyte and they are not much help.

Hi and welcome.

From what you say only the front USB3.0 ports are dead everything else works fine is that it in a nutshell ?

If so then make sure that the front USB3.0 ports are physicaly connected to the motherboard header.

Next make sure that you have the drivers loaded.

Check to see if the ports are working on the rear panel USB3.0 (blue).

Try a "normal" USB2.0 drive in the front USB3.0 ports to see if it works.

Correct , My amd usb 3.0 drivers for A75 FCH (fusion controller hub) were NOT installed, When I installed the AMD Catalyst I checked the CUSTOM INSTALL box instead of THE EXPRESS Install,   When I reinstalled the drivers I checked the Express installed and low and behold I saw the message installing usb 3.0 drivers) when the program loaded,  Just as simple as that.  EVERTHING WORKS OK NOW.

Thank you for your interest and advice,  Regards TurboDave38
