My mobo has 4 onboard usb 2.0/1.1 ports and 2 usb 3.0 ports...
It also supports 6 usb 2.0/1.1 via headers...

now the problem is any device connected to these ports works dead slow..
if they are connected to usb 3.0 ports they work fine..

see the transfer rate for a file when i connect the pen drive to 3.0 port.

transfer rate for the same file when i connect the device to ports other than 3.0...

Check the USB port settings from BIOS.
