No USB After Bios Update, Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR

After updat­ing to the newest bios on the Intel Desk­top Board D845GVSR, we lost our USB. The prob­lem was that the CMOS map was changed to include the “USB Enable/Disable” func­tion. In order to get back your USB, you must use the pro­ce­dure listed below.

1. Shut down the com­puter safely and remove the chas­sis cover.
2. Move the BIOS Con­fig­u­ra­tion jumper to the Main­te­nance posi­tion. Aka; the CMOS jumper.
3. Power on the com­puter and enter BIOS Setup (press F2 dur­ing boot).
4. Go to the Advanced > USB Con­fig­u­ra­tion menu.
5. Enable the USB Func­tion.
6. Go to the Exit menu and select Save Cus­tom Defaults.
7. Save and exit the BIOS setup.
8. Turn off the com­puter.
9. Move the BIOS Con­fig­u­ra­tion jumper back to the nor­mal mode posi­tion.
10. Power on the com­puter and enter the BIOS Setup again to ver­ify that the Advanced > USB Con­fig­u­ra­tion menu is now back to normal.

Hope this helps some­one Let us know if you have a questions.
