Hello everyone,
The software and driver install normally. However, when I plug in the interface, I get a constant tone and a blue screen (the computer crashes). I've also tried installing the driver manually, and it does install. But the same problem keeps happening: a buzzing sound from the laptop and a blue screen.
Regarding the laptop: Asus U36S with an Intel Core i5 2410M processor (2.3 GHz), 8 GB of RAM, a 63-bit operating system, and running Windows 7.
The interface works without any problems on all other computers. Unfortunately, the batteries in those other computers are dead, which means I absolutely have to use this laptop.
Does anyone else experience this problem, or does anyone have a suggestion for a solution?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Andreas.

Sure, there's a missing bit icon_lol.gif.


Okay, putting the jokes aside – it's not generally a problem with 64-bit Windows 7, because too many people are using it without issues. That pretty much leaves the USB chipset as the culprit.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hello,

It might be because your computer uses a specific chipset for USB 3.0 that was causing issues with the device driver.

Please download VCDS-RKS version 11.11.3 from your customer account ("Your Account" in the shop). The installation package includes a fix to remove old device drivers from your computer.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello and thank you very much.
It worked exactly once, and then the problem reappeared.

Hello Andreas,

Bitte gib mir den deutschen Text, den du Ăźbersetzt haben mĂśchtest.
- Perform a BIOS update on the computer.
- Visit Windows Update.
- If any drivers from the laptop manufacturer's CDs are installed for the chipset or other components, please check there for updates.

If it still doesn't work, please let me know.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hi there,
Before updating the BIOS, I would first update the ASUS USB device driver (according to ASUS, it's different for U36SD and U36SG models). I only recommend using a Windows-based flash utility like the one from ASUS for BIOS upgrades in emergency situations, as some laptops have become unusable afterward. The system's instability is already evident with the crashes experienced when using the VCDS interface.
Unfortunately, ASUS doesn't provide any information about the release dates of individual drivers or their history.

Herbert.

Post09-07-2012, 10:59    Subject: USB 3.0 Issues: Fresco Logic Solutions Quote

Hello,

There is a specific driver available for the "problematic" USB 3.0 chipset.
So far, I know fewer people who have experienced this specific problem than I have fingers on one hand. Therefore, this special driver should not be included in the regular release, as it could cause problems on other computers.

Bitte prĂźfe zuerst, ob es ein Treiberupdate fĂźr Deinen USB Chipsatz gibt (Mainboardhersteller, Hersteller vom Chipsatz) und installiere diesen. S"iehe http://www.asus.com/"
At least driver version 3.5.36.0 for the Fresco Logic FL1000 should be installed!

The following procedure (workaround) offers an alternative way to achieve the desired result:
- Install VCDS-RKS version 11.11.3, and do NOT leave the diagnostic cable connected to the computer.
- Plug the diagnostic system into a USB 2.0 port.
- In the Control Panel, under "Programs and Features" (or "Software"), uninstall the Ross-Tech driver package.
- Install the "special" device driver; you will receive a private message with instructions. Customers can request this from us here.

Please first test and post the exact USB chipset being used, along with its driver version.

Best regards, Rainer.
