Computer question?

[rjjammer]

I was hoping I could get some help from those of you that are far wiser with the computer world than I am. This was my first system build and it certainly has been a learning experience!

 

Attached is a pic of a flight simulator set up close to what I have. I saved and collected this over a long time. I am running all this gear plus three monitors on one computer. i7 with ASUS z87 card graphics card is Gigbyte and various other higher end components. Running windows 7x64 and Microsoft FSX, all components and software recommended by the manufacturer and other flight simmers.

 

I have it all built and running, but I have one issue when I try to connect last four 4 of the USB run gauges I get a error that I have exceeded the number of supported USB devices with the Intel 3.0 Host controller. I have powered hubs and what I thought was enough computer to run the 21 USB devices that are needed. After I did some forum searching and questions still no answer. Now I know others have this set up and more on one computer, but cant get past the error.

 

I tried uninstalling the USB controller and that got all the gear to work, but when I shut down, the system wont re boot, so I had to re install the original software. I am at a loss. Intel and Microsoft refer me to the ASUS support, and ASUS sends me to Microsoft. Other forums were no help and some of the responses were rude to say the least! Does anyone have a work around? I really don't want to network another computer or spend anymore on this.

 

Thanks Rob

I'm not sure about the error, you should be able to run 127 devices on a 3.0 host controller, but.. each type of device is classed in it's own group, so perhaps if all your devices are classed as " Interface device, joystick" and the computer has to load a suitable software driver module for each device, you're running into a limitation within windows itself and not the actual hardware.

 

I've also seen people have issues with the

INTEL USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver

 

 

 

I'd try and uninstall that and see if it clears things up.

 

 

Also try uninstalling any type of USB boost software that may have come with your motherboard.,

I doubt I'll ever go to anything like that. I just use a x52 HOTAS for World of warplanes and don't need anything that fancy, but I'm glad I could help!
