If you are having trouble connecting usb devices to your computer, you may need to install drivers on the usb host controller. These drivers can be found on the disk from the motherboard, and if the disk is lost, on the manufacturer's website. You will need your motherboard model and internet.
Necessary
- - the Internet;
- - the Everest program.
Instructions
Step 1
Find out your motherboard model. Without shutting down the computer, this can be done through the DirectX utility by typing the dxdiag command in the Run main menu item window. The computer model in the first tab will be the model of your motherboard. You can also download the Everest program on the Internet and view the detailed data on the model of the video card installed in the computer.
Step 2
Go to the manufacturer's website. To find the official website of the manufacturer, enter the name of the motherboard manufacturer in the search engine - say, MSI or Gigabyte, and follow one of the first links. Find your motherboard page on the manufacturer's website. This can be done through a search on the website or through the product catalog. Find Drivers Download and navigate to the appropriate page.
Step 3
Find the link to download the driver for the usb controller. For modern motherboards, this driver usually comes with the system and chipset drivers - look for the word System or specifically USB Host Controller in the description. Download the proposed files, paying attention to the choice of operating system. Save the files to your computer's hard drive by creating a separate folder. As a rule, such files can still come in handy during the installation of the operating system or any other failures.
Step 4
Install the driver. To do this, unpack the downloaded archive and start the installation by double-clicking on the Setup. You can also start the installation from the "Device Manager". If your computer suddenly stops working with USB devices, it could be a sign of corrupted system files or hardware malfunctions of the motherboard itself. If you have reset the BIOS, check to see if the usb controller is disabled by default.
