godman_8 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was having this weird problem problem in Windows 8.1 that my USB controllers kept disconnecting. I couldn't fix it so I reverted to Windows 7 and everything was fine even after installing and running uTorrent. I got tired of Windows 7 poor performance with my FX-8350 so I switched back to 8.1 in hopes of the problem not occurring again. I've had 8.1 installed for 8 days without problem until I installed uTorrent and ran it. I didn't even realize the problem at the time so I went and bought a 7 port USB 3.0 PCI E card. Then when I was going to a techsupport IRC channel I realized uTorrent may of been the problem and uninstalled and the problem has not occurred since even though all USBs were disconnecting every 5 minutes.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sounds like shoddy usb controller drivers.Are you saving to USB drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godman_8 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've tried latest AMD SB updates and mobo drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godman_8 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh sorry, I misunderstood the second part. No, only drives connected via SATA3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 And are you using an internal wireless adapter to connect to the internet? Honestly, uTorrent itself doesn't cause usb failure like that, it's something external. uTorrent MAY be TRIGGERING it, but it's an indicator of an underlying problem somewhere else.

godman_8 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I apologize, I've investigated that it's when WNA1100 transmits or receives large amounts of traffic that causes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 USB Wifi adapters are sadly pretty shoddy. Try an internal PCIe WLAN card instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
