Hi - A few days ago, I installed a brand new Renesas USB 3.0 PCI-e card in my PC (HP Compaq 8200 Elite MT, running 64bit Windows 7 Professional). The card came with a driver disk. When I initially installed the driver, it showed up in Device Manager and the card worked fine. However, after the first restart of the system, the driver no longer appears in Device Manager and any drive I connect to the card doesn't show up in My Computer. I have just updated my BIOS from the 2011 version to the 2014 version, but it didn't cure it. I also tried reloading the driver, but nothing changed. Can anyone kindly suggest the likely cause - and a cure?
TYVMIA!

On your driver CD, the 2nd-to-last folder is for VIAVT6202VT6212drv262LM. Could be that this is the VIA driver installer folder for your VIA chipset card, instead of that NEC 3.0 folder whose SETUP.EXE obviously failed. Clearly the card you have does NOT have Renesas/NEC chipset on it. The PEXUSB3S2 PCI Express USB 3.0 card lets you add two USB 3.0 ports to your PC through a PCI Express slot. Featuring a native NEC PCI Express host controller chipset, the USB 3.0 standard supports transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, while still providing backward compatibility for older USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and 1.1 (12Mbps) devices.
