For the past couple of weeks I have been using Windows 8.1 RC on the above Asus motherboard with a FX-6300 CPU. Out of the blue today I had the USB function lock up on me so that I could not use the mouse or keyboard. I rebooted. Same problem within a few minutes. So I disconnected all USB devices except mouse and keyboard and rebooted. Same problem appeared within a few minutes. I went to the Asus website to check for an updated driver for Windows 8.1 but there were none. There was however, a newer bios that purported to "fix problems with some USB devices". I have flashed the bios with the newer version and we will see if it fixes the issue. Now, I have noted that the last several bios updates with this board as well as with the M5A97 board I was previously using all had to do with "fixing USB problems". Is this an issue with Asus products in recent times? Or, do you think the problem is more likely a half-baked driver that came with Windows 8.1 RC?
