Hello, thanks for the suggestion but I've tried that many many times it simply shows 'no driver found' as shown on the second screenshot on my first post but showing only the USB Controller (as it's the only problem now > <). And the URL of the site sounds would like to try a few more steps before sending something back such as maybe the suggested ( ) - and mostly because it took me a whole day to figure out how to put things together (my first build Mantis ), dodgy? Because the comments on those websites seem -very- generic and were only made within the last few days.

Are those websites saying '1608 Fixes - download now' (e.g. So I tried to repair Windows, because I felt it was the only way to possibly get rid of that Installshield Error and alas the error still remains even after. But like I mentioned, whether from the CD (when selecting individual drivers) or downloading the driver from the Gigabyte site, it brings up an annoying 1608 error that stops me from installing. There are a few 'USB Root Hubs' and 'Generic USB Hub' around but nothing obvious like 'VIA USB 3.0 Controller'.

I have been desperately trying to uninstall the VIA drivers (so that I can reinstall them) but I can't seem to find a way to do that! Whenever I fire up the Utility CD from Gigabyte it says the VIA Drivers are installed, but there's no mention of it in the Device Driver or in Control Panel. But I have read through it again since and I reckon I should try your idea about cold booting first if you could clarify, what do you mean by populating the Intel USBs? Thanks for the replies post was one of the first I referred to but what stopped me from replying to your thread was that there was a slight difference in Motherboard name ( UD3H) and I wasn't suffering from BSODs =x. If anyone requires additional information, I will happily comply. I realise that this may be more of a OS issue but I've yet to tackle the problem of the Ethernet or SM Bus Controller and am very open to suggestions. I hope that this post is alright, I did look through the forums to see if there was any similar issues but none seem to describe the 1608 error that I'm getting. I've read something about how Windows having some issues with drivers when a is USB being plugged in when the machine is booted up for the first time, but I don't believe I used the VIA USB ports for my mouse, if that would be an issue? I've checked that my Install Service is functioning and it is and my Windows Update is fully up to date. Still no avail, I've made sure I've right clicked Run as Admin on all occasions and I just can't get it working (please note: I am the only User on this computer). I've tried to install it in Safe Mode but an error 1607 occurs after that and I've tried to install it after a 'Clean Boot'. Unfortunately this happens on two other sources where I had found a VIA driver.
