Windows 10: I bought a pcie 3.0 card and it's not being detected!

So i bought a wmr headset, i needed usb 3.0 so i bought a hub, i installed it, pcie along with the power connecting to it, and it's not being detected at all! this is the usb 3.0 hub i bought to be exact https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DYNAMODE...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I tried installing drivers but it still wasn't detected!

LPT PCIe card sometimes not detected at all in Windows 10

I have an ASRock Z170 Pro4 LGA 1151 motherboard, and a RC-302E PCIe 1-Port Parallel Card connected. I am running Windows 10 Professional.

I'm having an issue with the parallel port card where sometimes it just will not show up in Device Manager at all. As in, there is no "unknown device" listed, the device is just completely absent. It doesn't matter if I hit "Scan for new hardware" or not, it doesn't show up.

Sometimes on a cold boot I will see the LPT port registered in device manager and working fine. Sometimes it is just missing altogether. Sometimes it is there at first, and disappears after a while.

Reinstalling the drivers is not the solution, as I've done this several times (and I can't install the drivers if the system thinks the device doesn't exist to begin with).

I was hoping that the solution would be similar to this question, but I have two USB PCIe cards that connect to the power supply which work fine, meanwhile the parallel port card does not connect to the power supply.

I don't know what to do to get it to just work, having to reboot several times just to see if it will work is very disruptive.

 

Looking for PCIe to SATA 3 Add-in-card

I'm looking for a PCIe to SATA 3 add in card that actually works at X4 rates, that is, it must use all four lanes on the PCIe bus. The card can either provide sata connectors or permit insertion of a 2.5" SATA 3 SSD onto the card. Examples of the types of cards that would work IF they were X4 cards are seen here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...4RCW5MS9&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...G9WPPLAW&psc=1


Most of these cards have X4 connectors but only work at X2 (two PCIe lanes are connected). Why is it important to me that the card work at X4? ANS: My Mobo only has PCIe slots that support PCIe Revision 1 rates. All my SATA connectors are SATA 2 connectors that don't take full advantage of my existing SATA 3 SSD boot drive so I want to add at least one SATA 3 port to the computer to speed things up. An add-in-card (or adapter card) that works at X2 would not support SATA 3 speeds on a Revision 1 PCIe bus. This is why I need a card that has a PCIe connector working at X4.

For now, I've only seen cards that work at X1 or X2 but nothing higher. My hope is someone will know where to look to find one of these cards that works at X4. Thanks for reading.

 

PCIe sound card not detected by mainboard / Windows 10

I'm using the following hardware setup:

• RyZen 2700
  
• 2x 32Gb DDR4
  
• Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO B450 AORUS PRO (rev. 1.0) | Mainboards - GIGABYTE Germany
  
• Gigabyte RTX2070 AORUS
  
• 6 SATA Devices
  
• PowerColor Devil HDX DEVIL HDX - PowerColor
  
• 700W PSU
  

First time installing the Devil HDX Sound Card on mainboard it works superb. After some reboots it gets lost and Windows 10 Professional is not able to detect the hardware. Sometimes changing the PCIe port solves the issue for some time untill Windows looses the card again.

Did anyone have the same issues and a good way to solve?
