USB 3.0 Problem

[DeDefiance]

Hey everyone,

 

So recently I've been having a problem and I can't really figure out what's going on.

If I plug-in a hard drive via usb 2.0 and transfer files, everything works fine.

If I plug-in a hard drive via usb 3.0 and transfer files, it disconnects all usb devices connected to the computer until the file transfer stops, and then they all reconnect again.

 

I've been searching all over for a solution to this and can't even remotely figure out what could be causing this.

 

If someone could help that would be awesome.

What Mainboard? Try to reinstall ur USB drivers

yep, reinstall or update usb drivers,

Are you plugging it into the same USB 3 port each time?  Or do you have several USB 3 ports that you are switching around using.  As stated -- it could be a driver issue -- or it could be something physically lodged inside the USB 3 port on your motherboard.  I've seen a similar situation when there was a small metal fragment inside the USB port on a laptop.  Connect/Disconnect.

Yeah, also make sure that the USB 3 Header is correctly plugged into your motherboard, as it could just be loose, so re-seat it
