two devices won't work on USB
I've literally been trying to figure this out for 3-4 months now, and nothing, so any help is much appreciated!
I have a pretty old system, at least 4-5 years. It's still running pretty good because I take it out monthly and complete dust it/make sure it is running smoothly. It has a Quad Core that I overclocked to 3.6GHz, 8GB of RAM and an ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe motherboard.
So my problem: I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and from day one, two devices won't work on USB: my external hard drive and more importantly my iPhone 6. Every single time I plug them in I get an error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
I HAVE LITERALLY TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN FIND ON GOOGLE over the past 4 friggin months.
I decided that maybe the system needed to be formatted, so I reinstalled Windows 10 from CD, no upgrade, completely clean and fresh install. Made sure everything is updated, etc... YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES!
For example on the iPhone, I tried manually browsing for the driver, doing everything I can to troubleshoot iTunes (which shouldn't be the problem since I reformatted), making sure I tried different USB ports, etc. I did test the iPhone on another Windows 10 machine and it works just fine.
So after literally trying everything, here is what I'm starting to wonder: could my mobo be so old that the chipset driver isn't supported by Windows 10? This wouldn't explain why my Logitech G19/G700 mouse and keyboard work just fine on this PC (unless I use my KVM the keyboard will get unrecognized but after a few times switching it picks it back up).
Are the USB ports just failing? Do I need to do something in BIOS? Is there a PCI slot I can fill with a USB card, can I hook USB into a SATA or something? I am literally willing to do anything to just get the damn iPhone working so I can sync my music and stuff.
Any advice would be appreciated, sorry for long post.
