xHCI compliant host controller is the problem.
In any case, it's not in my sig yet, but I have the Gigabyte AM3+ 990fx UD3 rev 4 mobo. 8150 cpu with 2x4gb mushkin redline at 1833. Nothing overclocked for the purposes of getting this issue resolved first.
So, once a new Win 7 64 was installed, I figured all is well, but got some yellow uninstalled devices. Looked around and found the above, and sure enough, once installed, it installed USB Hub 2, USB Hub 3 and lastly at the bottom of USB section of device manager, xHCI controller.
Everything works fine, but there is a HUGE problem. When I have this driver installed, in idle, with nothing plugged in, it's using between 13 and 30% of my CPU, ALL THE TIME! I read around and haven't found anything to fix this so now I had to uninstall it (just uninstalling the controller uninstalls the hub 2 and hub 3 as well, and creates one uninstalled icon in unknown devices, called Universal Serial Bus Controller).
As soon as it's uninstalled, the CPU goes to 0% and temps fall back down to under 25, whereas with the driver installed, they are always over 40, with the CPU always working.
Now I know it's a VIA USB hub, but don't know if I can install from VIA directly, and Gigabyte one is horrible, as above. I ran into a thread that said that VIA has a patch for just this problem, but the thread doesn't go any further than that.
I'm now trying to download a huge 66MB driver package from VIA itself although it warns not to use it, but its for VL800/VL801 usb which is what I think I have (rev 1 of my board had etron usb ports right?)
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreaciated.
The driver on the disc that came with the mobo doesn't work at all, possibly because I installed some other USB drivers and it doesnt' recognize just this one by itself, I don't know, but in any case, please help.

The above is what I'm trying now, but I'm scared to even try it. Hopefully I get a reply before I try it.
The driver that works but causes huge CPU load all the time is just called VIA USB 3 that I got from a gigabyte affiliated site. It's version 2.10C
