Question Biostar H81MHV3

[brian_fargo]

Where can I find the USB 3.0 drivers for the Biostar H81MHV3 mobo ?

Try running Intel's tool to detect missing drivers:

It only found me Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows 15.40. No USB 3.0 drivers.

Are those ports enabled in your motherboard BIOS?

What OS are you running?

 

[brian_fargo]

Yes, USB 3.0 ports are enabled in the bios. I use windows 10.

Odd that Win 10 isn't detecting and installing drivers. Assuming your ports aren't defective, then they should be natively supported.

Are these ports the ones connected directly to the motherboard (rear panel) or ports on your case (front panel)?

These ports are the ones connected directly to the motherboard (back panel).

 

[COLGeek]

Are those ports working at all?

 

[brian_fargo]

Working, but only USB 2.0

 

[COLGeek]

What is the version number of your motherboard?

 

[brian_fargo]

Version 7.3

 

[COLGeek]

Working, but only USB 2.0

To confirm, the black 2.0 ports work. But not the blue 3.0 ports. Is that correct?

You can try installing the Win 7 x64 drivers from Intel.

The Win 7 x64 drivers from Intel, is not supported by Windows 10.

 

[COLGeek]

This implies native Win 10 support should work. Did you upgrade from a previously working Win 7 install to Windows 10?

[brian_fargo]

I did not upgrade from a Win 7 install. I only installed Windows 10.

In Device Manager, do those ports show up with an error indicator? If so, have you tried right clicking on them to force an uninstallation and then restarting the system (to redetect devices)?

 

[brian_fargo]

There are no ports in Device Manager that are displayed with an error indicator. I tried right clicking on them forced an uninstall and then restarted the system. But nothing changes.
