Everything was perfect(almost) until I installed new RAM. I shut computer down, installed RAM and now it won't detect anymore. HDD works on other USB 2 ports but not on 3. Other devices(mouse etc.) work on this USB 3 ports.

Mobo: H370 Gaming Plus
CPU: i3-8350K

Best to avoid the port limit patch and inject ports within the 15-port limit.
Otherwise, you're going to be chasing down a new patch with each update, not to mention that exceeding the port limit causes an array bounds overwrite.
