I just recently completed a new build and noticed a small problem: my USB 3 ports don't work during boot-up. Specifically, when I plug my keyboard into a USB 3 port, the keyboard doesn't work.

However, once I boot into the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate), the USB 3 ports work fine. Also, the USB 2 ports work fine both during boot-up and once in the OS.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte P55A-UD3 Rev. 2. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? For those who have the Gigabyte UD3 board, does your keyboard work during boot-up in the USB 3 slots?

My other PC components are:
Intel i5 750
GTX 460
XFX 650 W PSU
G. Skill Ripjaws (2x2gb)

Thanks!

EDIT: Checked out Gigabyte's website and noticed there was a BIOS update for increased USB 3 compatability. I d/l'ed the latest BIOS firmware and installed. However, the problem still exists.

Either they Gigabyte haven't fixed that issue yet or you have to reset your BIOS, use the jumper to clear the CMOS, then select "load default settings" in your BIOS, reset and see if that works
