    Hoping for some quick help.

    Some days ago I started my N56 and it freezed on the starting windows boot screen, had to hard restart it and it tells me I need to recover Windows. After clicking the enter button on that prompt in DOS apparently it started reinstalling Windows, and here I was all my data gone and Im back to square one whereas the N56 is back to factory settings and all and is exactly like when I first bought it. Luckely, much of my very important data is saved on my portable HD.

    Now here I am uninstalling bloatware and reinstalling everything step by step, but something is wrong with my USB 3.0 drivers. I have tried updating to the latest drivers through ASUS support/drivers website but I cannot get rid of those yellow exlamation marks on USB host controllers in device manager. I have tried uninstalling all USB drivers from device control, reinstalling old version with no success. Reinstalling latest USB drivers also yields no result. It is simply not working whatever I do. I cannot advance to the next step transferring data from the portable to the N56. Thankful for any quick help!

    Ok, i seemed to have helped myself fix the problem but for anyone out there with a similiar problem, it seems as if the usb charger plus interface interferes with the standard 3.0 controller. Simply uninstall usb charger plus and reboot. I might have lost the usb charger plus but will try to get both working somehow, priority is having usb!

    Over and out
