10.04 64bit problem with usb 3.0

[yardbird2012]

i just bought a i5 2500k+AsRock extreme 3 gen 3 motherboard+patriot ddr3 1333 8gb, and my system is 10.04 64bit. when i am trying to plug a usb 2.0 flash drive in usb 3.0 port, the system is dead, i have to reset. my kernel is 2.6.32-40-generic-pae.

since i don't have windows system, i can not test the port in windows. and the motherboard is brand new, little bit worry it is defect one on usb 3.0. so any suggestion? thanks a lot.

I suggest that you download (maybe using another computer) the iso files of Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 beta. I think these new versions have a better chance to co-operate with your new hardware. Make boot CD or USB drives and test running live sessions without installing.

thanks, but i don't like ubuntu unity this kind of stuff. my computer is mainly used for scientific computation, just want to keep most simple interface, and as stable as it can.

You could try Xubuntu or Lubuntu, which are both lightweight and simple.

It doesn't make sense that a 64-bit system would have 2.6.32-40-generic-pae as the kernel.

Google says that kernel should have USB 3.0 support, but new hardware with old software is not a healthy combination. Go with Ubutnu 12.04, then install gnome-panel, and select it (just once) at logon. That eliminates Unity.
