USB 3.0 & USB 2.0 Difference

When USB started there was not much difference when you looked at the ports as the suppliers and manufacturers did not care to much to colour code any of them. Some had been white and others black but that meant nothing. Since USB 2.0 however there has been the start of colour coding so consumers could tell the ports apart. As an example the average motherboard can have more than one type of USB port on it.

[Solved] ‘No device drivers were found’ when installing Windows 7

Windows 10

The problem with many mother boards today is that you can have a problem running Windows 7 on the computer. The reason is because Windows 7 did not have USB drivers for USB 3 or USB 3.1 on the CD as it did not exist when Windows 7 came to the market. The message is however generic and does not explain this to the user. It leave you with the impression that the computer lacks a DVD or CD driver which is incorrect. This does not occur with a normal standard CD drive but only with USB CD drives and USB sticks.

AMD Partial installation of Drivers [Solved]

Windows 10

USB Driver If you have ever tried to install the AMD driver and you get a partial install then I will explain how to do this perfectly each time on Windows 10. There is also the problem with signed drivers when you have a modded bios but this is mainly for people who use their GPU’s for mining crypto currencies. When you install the driver software from AMD the driver will not recognise your modded hardware and you will get a triangle next to the device in the device manager. I will explain both below as each has a different method. (Modded to be done later)

FT232R and FT245R USB UART Drivers

RS232

USB Driver You do not normally need a UART driver for the devices as they are treated by the computer in the same way as the BM series devices. That noted that any driver which worked on the BM series devices will also now work with the R series devices. Note that there are some new functionalities which may now require the most recent drivers for the devices. As of date any application which was coded for both the AM or BM series devices should still work with R series devices. There should be very few changes in this regard. You can also see some of the most common problems here.
