Hi, my external hdd isn't recognized on some usb ports until i restart windows and they suddenly appear on my computer. Board is VIII hero, and i think only on blue ports, when i reconnect them to red one it is recognized immideatly, but on blue port it doesn't appear, even on hd sentinel and similar health check software.
