I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard which seems to have no working USB ports. I don't know if the USB chip(?) is dead or if it's a BIOS problem.
Of course, these boards update the BIOS using a USB Thumbdrive.
So the question is do I buy a USB3.0 PCI-E card that installs into a 1x or 4x PCI-E slot and costs $15 or do I buy a new BIOS chip which is about $20.
If the USB3.0 card does not boot the board I can use it on another board. If I buy the BIOS chip and this doesn't fix the USB functioning, it's a loss.
Has anyone successfully booted from a USB PCI-E card?
