Maximus V Extreme: Bluetooth will not start

[MichaelV]

ok, i bought this board about 3 weeks ago, bluetooth worked well no problems then the next day i started my pc and it will not nboot. i don't know if it was because of a windows update. in device manager theres a unknown device saying (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) i tried alot of things 1. disabled, re-booted/enabled re-booted the bluetooth controller in the bios, 2. device manager, uninstalled the unknown device then re-booted still didn't work. 3. re-installed the software for the bluetooth on the disk that came with the board, didn't work. i don't know what else to try, the wifi works fine too its just the bluetooth, also btw the unknown device went away when i disabled bluetooth controller in the bios and came back when i enabled it again. anyone know a fix?

now the led on the mcpci is not lit, thinking if its because of a bad mcpci, wifi will not work now.......

The only thing I can suggest is to re-flash your bios and use a fat formatted USB stick and the EZflash2 utility found in the tools seciton of the bios.

Clear CMOS before the flash and let the flash run its course do not get tense if your system sits for a few minutes it might be doing a firmware upgrade.

Thanks so much, all i did was reset my bios/motherboard by taking out the battery, wait 5-10 min put back in changed some stuff in the bios like boot order and windows now reads the bluetooth thanks for suggesting that 🙂
