I have HP Pavilion 21-a255in All-in-One Desktop PC., windows 8.1.
The desktop has two usb 3.0 ports, sound and mic port on the side. It also has a camera.
The system is not detecting any of these.
It also has 4 USB2.0 ports which are working fine.
The USB3.0 do power the external harddrive when connected but the system does not detect the harddrive.
please help
