Ever since upgrading to 3080, usb 3.2 ports acting weird

ReconnectController

Since putting in the new gpu I can no longer record my capture card with out it freezing(it needs 3.0) and my oculus rift while setting up shows everything as usb 3 but will than flip back and forth between recommending a usb 3 port and being on one without me switching the ports. Any ideas at what could be causing this? The only though I had was power as the psu is a bit old but is 900w. But none of the usb devices are really disconnecting they are just not registering as usb 3

Alright. I'd definitely say the most likely cause is the motherboard.

Hello @ReconnectController

That is pretty weird that is happening.  What happens when you use the original GPU?

@TSPhillipT had to wrestle the beast out(broke the pcie lock clip) but put in the old gpu(really old gtx 760) and works fine, could this be a psu issue? Its old but it meets the requirements

What kind of PSU do you have?

Hello @ReconnectController

It definitely sounds like a hardware issue but it's hard to determine if it's a motherboard or PSU issue.  Have you tried updating the bios for your motherboard?  

ReconnectController

@TSPhillipT yup everything is 100% up to date, just grabbed a rm850 from microcenter, will let you know if it solves it

ReconnectController

Power supply seems to have solved it! Thanks for your help and time @TSPhillipT

ReconnectController

Correction, its still happening

If the PSU didn't fix it that would suggest it's probably a motherboard related issue.

If you have interchangeable cables trying some different USB cables wouldn't be a bad idea either, just to rule that out.

It's possible the new GPU is messing with the board in some way, I have had strange things happen to motherboards when installing new parts, but I'd say that's pretty unlikely and we should narrow down other potential issues first.

@TSTonyV I've tried all different cables and I think it is related to the mobo usb controller. And it may not be the 3080 its just since getting that I now have everything hooked up to my main desktop where as before it was more spread out. So it may be more coincidence than causation. I ordered this to isolate the vr headset from the same controller as the 4k capture card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B6ZCNGM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@TSTonyV I marked yours as correct as a new motherboard seems to have solved the issue. I went with a regular atx instead of matx which meant new case too but everything is work as of now. And I hope I never have to comeback here and update this post again, thanks for your time and help
