Gigabyte Aorus X299 Ultra Gaming- USB 3.1 problems

[blader80]

I've just done a new build and keep having issues with "d" ports on the back of the board.

I initially had anker 7+3 smart charge hub connected there and it worked for a bit but then stopped working. I replugged it to blue 3.0 port and it works fine now, however, my "d" ports completely stopped working. Device manager shows the following:

No conflicts- but maybe I'm missing a controller( Realtek?). I've downloaded/installed latest asmedia 2 drivers from gigabyte website - no change.

Any ideas? This is driving me nuts.
Thanks!

You may wan to see if your board has any BIOS updates pending. I would also suggest plugging in a thumb drive with an indicator LED to see if your drive gets power, if so then it rules out the Anker hub shorting the USB port(s)/fuse for that 2 port USB block.

Thanks man
I think I figured it out..

It is my APC. backup which is rated for 780watts while psu is seasonic titanium 850. On startup I've started having 5_10sec shutdowns as if pc didn't have enough juice and would shut down and restart in loop before it gets to windows.

I shut it down and connected to regular wall socket. No issues and ports work!

Getting 900watt apc back ups now and will test....
