X99 OS Compatibility

So i've just clicked onto what might be my problem.

 

I've been having USB interal errors since i first posted my PC. I had an error with Samsung magician some time ago which caused more errors after this but i have since sorted this.

 

Now i'm back to my original issue. The interal USB error. I have no idea how to diagnose it. However i've just realised.

 

My BIOS only has a Window 8.1 options for boot. Therefore making me wonder if X99 is even compatible with Windows 7 and if it's actually the OS causing the issue.

 

I'm installing Windows 10 next week either way so i suppose i'll find out if it is the OS but im wondering what everybody else think it might be.

 

If there's actually an OS issue here or if it's actually an internal USB error.

 

Although i don't understand why there would be. 

 

I have an NZXT Phantom with the external fan controller built into the case if that helps.

 

Although  i doubt that the NZXT fan controller would cause so many errors.

 

A0, B4, 9C, A4 etc. errors.

get the motherboard drivers and USB drivers for windows 8.1

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I have Windows 7. The USB drivers and motherboard drivers are fully updated. The motherboard drivers are one driver. The only optional one is Windows 7 USB and Windows 8. I somehow doubt that W8 USB drivers would change anything. Considering im not on W8.

Doesn't work. Installed Windows twice and installed all my drivers about 4 times fresh. Always had the errors.
