My symptoms:. Sometimes my USB Netgear WNA3100 device, in the device manager, would get a yellow exclamation mark on it. Sometimes my USB Netgear WNA3100 device, with no signs of driver or device error, would not see any wireless networks. Sometimes my USB Netgear WNA3100 device would be stuck in a disabled state. Sometimes my 'Installing USB device' indicator would hang on start up. Sometimes my system would become despondent. Here is how I got past all this.
I waited for the first condition to occur, yellow exclamation mark on WNA3100 icon in device manager. Then:. In the BIOS I made sure my USB controller was set to be backward compatible.
In the device manager, I opened the USB controllers branch and the Network adapters branch. One by one, I started deleting the USB nodes in the USB controllers branch (highlight with mouse, press delete on keyboard). As I deleted each node I checked to see when the yellow exclamation on WNA3100 device disappeared. Once found, I clicked Actions Scan for hardware changes. I found the USB device that I deleted.
The one that made the yellow exclamation go away, and disabled that device. Its been two weeks now. Note: While deleting USB nodes, I disabled my keyboard and my mouse. I needed to reboot and roll on. I hope you-all can find your USB host controller with less pain that I.
I thought I would find a USB headset, or USB finger print reader that I was in contention with. I was surprised that the USB controller that I deleted did not have a device plugged in. All is well here.

This means they’re not ideal for “upgrading” from older motherboards, unless you also have a discrete graphics card. (Which, as usual, is a good idea anyway.) But the DH55TC, which is a microATX motherboard sporting Intel’s LGA1156 socket and uses the H55 Express version of the 5 Series Chipset, has its fair share of features primed for use in a Windows 7 media centerstyle PC. If you are using one of Intel’s new graphics-bearing CPUs, there are three video output ports: VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI. The motherboard can support a total of 12 USB ports (six of which can be found on the rear panel, six of which can be added using three internal headers), and has six 3-Gbps SATA ports (including two onboard eSATA). There’s also one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for adding a discrete graphics card, as well as two PCIe x1 slots and a standard PCI slot for additional expansion cards. If you need or want more USB ports or PCIe slots, you’ll need to get any other board in the 5 Series Chipset family—the H55 offers the lowest number of both. Also on the board: four dual-channel DDR3 memory slots (for 1,333- and 1,066-MHz RAM); a single PS/2 port, for either an old-school keyboard or mouse; a new, lower-power Integrated Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Network Connection; and ports for eight-channel Intel High Definition Audio.
