Hey all, I got Windows 7 ultimate 64bit from microsoft technet. Everything is working fine except for the USB ports in the back of my computer, when i go to device manager I get the error: Code 43Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43), I have tried the drivers for my motherboard from the Gigabyte site, the ones for Vista 64bit, but no luck, Please help
That link you posted doesnt show anything, it wants me to download a file
Ugh... Well I don't condone that or recommend that you do...
Well this makes me curious... Do those USB ports have anything plugged into them when the error message comes up? Or is that malfunction popup always coming up before you even put anything into the ports?
Was this ever happening before you installed Windows 7?
Before I installed Windows 7 I was using Windows XP 32bit and everything was working fine, This error appears before I plug anything into them, when I plug a USB device into them it doesn't even register that the computer found them, Whats weird is when i plug in my USB mousepad with a neon border it lights up.
Not that I'm an expert or anything... But do you think it's possible that the company who manufactured your motherboard only made those USB bus drivers for 32-bit environments? If this is the first 64-bit operating system you've run since XP, try using the 64-bit drivers from XP. Perhaps they are the only ones that are compatible.
I'm afraid I'm stuck then. The only other suggestion I would have would be to open your tower and make sure that everything around the USB ports is firmly in place and stacked to the motherboard. Something may have 'jiggled' out of place, it's happened to me before, that's why I suggest it.
I'm no technical expert though, if that's not it, there are some very helpful people who will see this and let you know something. Sorry I couldn't help you with this. Just keep being patient.
What was the fix other people had???
