USB Hub Code 10

[luke10050]

so my computer is being a real ass. the ICH7 USB controller seems to have decided to quit on me under windows, well the driver anyway. all the basic windows USB drivers are not loading and device manager gives a code 10. i have been accessing the pc using remote desktop from my server box which is far from ideal... any ideas why this happens? i can get the ports working for 1-2 reboots by uninstalling them in device manager... to me it almost sounds like malware or a script kiddy... any advice what to do bar reinstalling windows? today is not my day haha...

Check to see if it is loaded on your system any version of USB driver by Prolific.
By uninstalling it, your system will return to normal.

Re: USB Hub Code 10

no dice, i tried reinstalling drivers, updating them etc. best i can get usb working for is 1 reboot. after which it screws up again

Re: USB Hub Code 10

Have you looked at the caps near the USB ports? Bad caps can have this kind of effect.

re-installing won't fix it, its a problem with the driver. have you tried installing a different version?(older)

Re: USB Hub Code 10

Have you tried running hitman pro to see if there is any malware / rootkits your regular av isn't finding?

Kiriakos was referring to other drivers that interfere with the usb, you have to look at more then just the ich7 drivers.

Why are you having to reboot this computer so often that you know it goes bad after 1-2 boots?

Re: USB Hub Code 10

no i have not tried hitman pro. long story short mother was complaining about slow internet and decided to turn it off... its never been the same since, first a fan bearing quit and then the USB ports wont work under windows. any linux distro they are fine

i can update to the latest drivers or uninstall them and they will work/reboot will make them work, but after that dead again. the reason for massive reboots is looking for virii/spyware

would the reboot potentially indicate a cap issue? (but then again everything works perfectly in the bios, bootloader and linux

Re: USB Hub Code 10

its a driver incompatibility the drive could be colliding with a driver for say a broadcom chip or a card reader or etc that wouldnt have an incompatibility with an older driver, or it could be an older driver on the system causing it.
strip the drivers that aren't used anymore, update ALL the drivers and it may fix your system and may give it a speed boost.

take it from somebody who has read the winNT source code, the way windows is built opens it up to a very high potential for conflicts between drivers. other os's only have a fraction of the potential for driver conflicts that windows has..
