Why am I trying to do this? All my chipset-controlled USB3 ports (including the motherboard headers) are only operating as USB2. Searching the Intel web site for the same drivers (in case the Asus copy is corrupt) only returns drivers for Series 7 or Series 8 chipsets, with no specific mention of Series 9 (I have Z97). Rebooting at this stage causes a BSOD while loading windows, requiring a repair boot and System Restore to recover. Something has occurred in this process though, because the Device Manager is now listing the driver as Intel, version 3.0.0.16. If I try to install the PCI bus driver manually via the Device Manager (updating from the stock Microsoft driver and pointing it to the directory where the Intel USB3 drivers reside) It fails saying "The parameter is incorrect". At this point the entire system freezes for about 30 seconds and then a generic message is returned saying the install failed and some devices were not installed. I've been trying to install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver (version 3.0.0.16 as supplied by the Asus web site) but it balks when it gets to the PCI bus.
