Z77 driver issues - USB Controller Code 28

[Groggles]

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place.

Spec
CPU: i7-3770
RAM: 32GB Corsiar Vengeance DDR3
GPU: MSI GTX1070
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Mobo: Asus Sabretooth Z77

I have recently suffered a GPU death and used it as an excuse for a SSD upgrade with it

Context on the GPU death, the computer suffered a sudden reset then failed 10 times to reset,
Installing a fresh copy of windows allowed the computer to start with blue artefacts all over the screen

I have now installed a Fresh 1070 gpu and got the PC running I have encountered 2 problems however.
Problem 1:
My USB controller is reading a code 28
Location: PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0
Issue: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

I however have attempted to install the What i believe is the right drivers
"Intel(r)_usb_eXtensible_host_controller_driver.zip"
The dialogue boxes all tell me at the time that it has installed correctly, yet after the reset it still says code 28

Problem 2: there is no driver issue with this part however it doesn't seem to recognise that I have a storage HDD connected via SATA, I would suspect the SATA drivers however the CD and DVD drives I use both work

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Download and isntall all your drivers from Asus's website
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/HelpDesk_Download/

its probably the ASmedia driver you're lacking for that usb issue

And since youre using Win7 and that mobo uses an UEFI BIOS

Go into the BIOS and see what xHCI hand-off is on. I think it's meant to be on for Wiin7.

And EHCI handoff disabled

Extract that zip file before you install the drivers
