Hi Sean, thank you for relaying your experience with the back panel USB 3.0 ports on the DX79SR. I feel your frustration. The back panel ports on my board have been doing that same thing with an external hard drive connected to them. I think I have finally discovered a work around by booting up into the BIOS, exiting the BIOS while discarding any changes, and letting W7 startup. Why simply entering and exiting the BIOS, without changing anything, temporarily fixes the issue is beyond me. However, I am not confident that the problem will be kept at bay. After keeping the external hard drive connected for awhile, I will probably see the same issue come back. If the issue does come back, I will test my work around again. I will monitor the situation and post my experience to this same thread. It would be gratifying though to have a permanent fix to this issue in place. Brant
