Hello
I recently installed Mojave (10.14.3) on this rig (see title).
The Z68AP has the following USB3.0 controller:
Etron EJ168 chip
This rig has 6 USB2.0 ports (2 on the front, 4 on the back) as well as 2 USB3.0 ports (2 on the back).
It also has a monitor acting as a USB3.0 port, providing 3 additional USB3.0 ports (1 of them with a lightning logo -> fast charge?)
The rig boots normally if NOTHING is connected to the USB3.0 ports (not even the monitor/hub). From there, only 1 of the 2 USB3.0 ports will work (generally the second one I try) and it will work at full USB3.0 speed
Now if anything is connected to a USB3.0 port during boot, I get the Apple crash screen (multiple language error message) and, when I press a key, boots proceeds (rather than reboot) and I get the obvious crash report message after login in.
If I connect the monitor/hub to 1 of the 2 USB3.0 ports on the back of the tower, the additional 3 USB3.0 ports on the monitor may behave like:
Thank you very much for your help.
Best,

- work normally at USB3.0 speed (only 2 out of 3 will work, randomly)
- not work at all (usually when this happens, the ports that were previsouly working also stop working)
- crash the machine and reboot.
