Not sure which board you have but mine's an ASUS G97-A USB 3.1 and I've determined that port 15 relates to one of the three internal usb 2 expansion ports, I haven't really bothered looking for a fix as the board already has more usb 3 ports than I'm likely to need. As for the RTC accuracy...

Ok I cheked the time on both the bios and the operating system, both were around 20 mins behind (but they matched) so I set it right and left the PC switched off for 48 hours, during which it retained the correct time, So I suppose it's nothing to be concerned about. As for the XHCI...

Bought the components and built my new PC recently and downloaded 'ASUS PC Diagnostic' utility, I ran it last night and again today (after a fresh reboot) and on both occasions it reported the same two faults . . . 1) RTC accuracy test (failed). . . 2) USB/USB XHCI compliant host connector/root...

Ram it is then, Thanks

Ok problem solved, over a week of multiple Windows 7, 10 32bit & 10 64bit instalations, surfing the internet asking questions and looking for answers I finally noticed (while staring at yet another blank screen) that the data lights on my router were flashing like fairy lights on speed, I...

Unfortunately the Win7 64bit disc was a recovery CD and wouldn't install (only option to repair startup etc.) However I noticed a number of other updates on the ASUS support site for for my motherboard ie. graphics, CPU, SATA & LAN etc. most of these reference Windows 10 64bit. I'm considering...

Ok flashed the bios with the latest update, clean installed Win.10 64bit (again) but still left looking at a blank screen after installation. . . Borrowed a copy of Win.7 64bit will try that tomorrow to determine whether it's a Win.10 or a 64bit issue.

I have been installing Win.10 64bit as a clean install, (download the disc image from Microsoft), the OS install ok and as far as I'm aware it's running ok behind the blank screen I'm looking at. I've downloaded and I'm about to install the latest bios update (a cap) file?, as Asus have...

Recently upgraded my Windows 7 32bit to Windows 10 32bit, now I'm trying to upgrade to the 64bit version, I've used the Microsoft media creation tool and created a bootable Disc with Win 64bit, Disc boots ok, goes through the installation process ok and then reboots from my system disk (SSD)...

Just as I thought, maybe i'll just leave it in the old system and pass it on to my nephew then.

Having just built my new PC (ASUS Z97-A, Intel 4690K, Kingston 8Gb DDR-3 1186) I've been advised that my old VTXD 2GB Radeon HD 5450 DDR3 PCI-E 2.1 Graphics card would make a small improvement to my system by taking some pressure off the CPU. Personally I thought that with my GFX Card being...

Thanks guys, I thought it was simply a matter of onnecting my HDD and have Windows configure itself for the new hardware, then inserting my original Windows 7, zctivation key. Anyway I downloaded the Windows 10 disc image files onto my HDD, would it be possible to reinstall this into my old PC...

I've jusr upgraded my PC from an Athlon system to an Intel system, new M/B, CPU, Ram, PSU & Case, however I'm using my old HDD with Windows 10 (free upgrade from Windows 7), connected everything else up, switched it on and evergthing appeared to be going well with Win.10 logo & startup running...

My case has a front intake fan & a rear exhaust fan just above the PSU, The PSU only has one fan but I haven't run the system long enough for the fan to be activated (testing board connections only) therefore I'm not sure whether it's an intake or exhaust fan. So the fan should either suck...

Ok, I eventually went with the following, . .Asus Z97-A (usb 3.1), intel i5 4690k, 8gb Hyper x DDR-3 1866MHz. I was also given a Cooler Master M1000 Psu (no user manual), could anyone advise whether the psu should be installed with the fan facing down through the vent in the base of the case...
