Is your USB device working? Does it have any indicating of light when is plucked in example ex-harddrive plucked in and you see there is power. If not than it could the motherboard USB port got problem.

USB device itself works tried on another computer with usb3.

Flip your usb connection 180 degrees. If it doesnt fit, flip it again 180 degrees. If it still doesnt work flip it 180 degrees again it magically works...

Trust me, I found this solution on the internet

Did u installed new Windows 8.1 on the computer? If so, I will need to test it on mines myself, to see if it works, as soon as my Hard Drive gets here.

Yes fresh install and the gigabyte usb3 drivers.

Yeah sometimes usb3 ports like to screw around. I had a similar problem with my laptop (also windows 8.1). I tried reinstalling drivers aswell but it didnt work. The only thing rhat resolved my problem was complete reinstallation of the os.
