Dual Boot - Keyboard and Mouse NOT Working after switching OS

So I need buying a hub with usb port and installing this on pci express port.
Weird when I installed Asmedia drivers to the motherboard my bios crashed anything cannot loading. Need restart cmos.

It sounds like a tell-tale sign of a bad firmware :frowning_face:

In my case, I even sent the machine to a so-called specialist with some handsome payment which of course yield nothing. I then decided to take a bull by the horn and managed to discover this firmware bug by myself.

If you have enough USB 3.0 ports, there is no need for that.

Yes I can change to 3.0 port it could help?

All you can do is to try it out.
There is really no guarantee in life :wink:

At this stage, you have nothing to lose by doing so.

Yes I do that after restart from Zorin -->Win7 and plug and unplug not help only restart what wrote up. Also connected ssd external to port back with some "SS" also don't help.
Very annoying I reading some newest motherboard have also this problems.

My sympathies.

You might have a better luck asking a question at MSI forum rather than here.

I have been a system integrator since 90's but not many people are that familiar with a hardware/firmware issue in this forum.

For me this is weird what operative system can have a problem with peripherals tools like a mouse and keyboard. Standard the drivers are mostly compatibility with all computers and operative systems.

That is where firmware bugs crept in.
I saw the dissection of this binary file for this buggy SATA controller firmware. It was astonishing how it was managed to evade the quality control.

Forum - USB 3.0/3.1 Drivers (original and modded) maybe here are fixed?

Then what I understand many motherboards have a problem with ports usb and Asmedia.

Funny, it was exactly where I found a solution for my buggy SATA controller. Just proceed with caution there. It is really not for a beginner nor faint hearted. I've never posted anything there, but continuously reading the threads till I hit the solution.

What it could be bad if i choose wrong or bad? Kill my usb ports?

Not just ASMedia, in my case it was Marvel.
Those add-on chips are pain in the rear compared with native Intel/AMD chips. But they are necessary evils to augment functions otherwise missing from native chips.

Another good place to search for firmware is this:

It is a French forum but also has decent English pages.

How I know where is the problem from hardware or Zorin OS? With discussion a people here we discovered this. So your question is little weird to judgement people who tried help. Besides the problem still exist and not fixed and we talking about situation where it was W7-->Zorin working ; Zorin ->W7 not working. Next time please reading a carefully to properly understand a problem. I hope I don;t hurt your feelings.

Actually there are people who use mod BIOS and flash alternative firmware including myself :wink: I did such adventure on 3 laptops and one M/B.

But I agree with you 100% that this forum is not a good place to seek such help. As an old Japanese saying goes: One cannot seek fish on top of a tree.

I think sometimes we need sympathetic ears.
I can feel the frustration of system integration - which seems to be less and less people practising. But you are right about that, this is NOT a hardware forum.

I see your point.
Quite often, hardware issue and software issue are intertwined each other making them difficult to segregate. I hope I would master the skill of asking a right question to clarify the issue in future.

With @FrenchPress he put a link Z97A Gaming 7 - EHCI always claimed by XHCI drivers | MSI Global English Forum - Index this is what sayed about what side is a problem. Ok next time I will be more precision about creating a question with operating system Zorin OS. Sometimes the problem could be on both side hardware like my graphic card and edit grub to correctly working operating system. In this situation problem is on both side. Hardware cannot working properly without a operating system.
