Are you sure you're plugging it into a USB 3 port? Did you install the correct mobo drivers?

I've installed the lastest USB 3.0 drivers direct from my MB manufacturer's website... it is still not coming up.

 

What other checks can i do?

This may sound very dumb, but have you restarted your PC after installing the drivers :P

 

Even if you have, I would still install them again.

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

Are you using a USB 3.0 device or 2.0 device. My friend has this problem with the USB 3.0 slots on the front of his PC. He was using a USB 2.0 device and he said that you had to push it in slightly further or something like that so it could recognise the device.

Setup: i5 4670k @ 4.2 Ghz, Corsair H100i Cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB Ram @ 1600 Mhz, MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard, Corsair GS700 2013 edition PSU, MSI GTX 770 Lightning, Samsung EVO 120 SSD + 2TB&1TB Seagate Barracudas, BenQ XL2411T Monitor, Sennheiser HD 598 Headphones + AntLion ModMic 4.0

Yeah i have done, it asked me to restart after i installed them...

 

The USB 2.0 ports are working fine, it's just the 3.0 having problems.. i'm not sure what could be causing it.

It is a USB 3.0 flash drive.. so it's compatible.
