Intel 5 Series is a computing architecture introduced in 2008 that improves the efficiency and balances the use of communication channels in the motherboard. The architecture consists primarily of a central processing unit (CPU) (connected to the graphics card and memory) and a single chipset (connected to motherboard components). All motherboard communications and activities circle around these two devices.
The architecture is a product of adjustments made to the Intel 4 Series to deliver higher performance motherboards while maintaining efficiency and low power. The changes revolve around chipset and processor design, in conjunction with a rearrangement of functions and controllers. The result is the first major change in many years of computing.
The concept of the architecture was to improve motherboard mechanics to keep pace with the CPU as it gained more speed and multiplied in number of cores. In the previous architecture, the CPU was communicating heavily with the motherboard's central component, the Northbridge chipset, as it was the intermediary between the CPU, memory, and, in most cases, graphics card. The CPU would communicate with the Northbridge chipset when it needed data from the memory or when it needed to output graphics to the display. This arrangement caused the communication channel known as the front-side bus (FSB) to be heavily used. It was not long till either the FSB would reach full capacity or operate inefficiently with more cores. With the memory controller and/or graphics core moved into the processor, the reliance of separate motherboard chipsets for these functions are reduced.
The Ibex Peak chipset includes only Platform Controller Hub (PCH) per model, which provides peripheral connections, and display controllers for CPU with integrated graphics via Flexible Display Interface (excluding P-models). Additionally, the PCH is connected to the CPU via Direct Media Interface (DMI).
Taking advantage of Intel Nehalem CPUs with integrated graphics and PCI Express ports, the Intel Management Engine (ME) and a display controller for integrated graphics, once housed in north bridge, are moved into the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The I/O Controller Hub (ICH) function is integrated into the PCH, removing the need for separate north bridge and south bridge.

The Tylersburg family of chipsets is for Socket LGA 1366 supporting CPUs with triple channel memory controllers. Unlike the Ibex Peak chipsets, The Tylersburg family of chipsets do not include the PCH, and the I/O Hub mainly provides extra PCI Express 2.0 ports. Peripheral connections are provided by I/O Controller Hub (ICH) connected to the DMI interface. Intel 5 series IOH support ICH10, while Intel 5500 Series IOH support ICH9 or ICH10.

The Nehalem-based Xeons for dual-socket systems, initially launched as the Xeon 55xx series, feature a very different system structure: the memory controllers are on the CPU, and the CPUs can communicate with one another as peers without going via the chipset. This means that the 5500 and 5520 (initial codename Tylersburg-EP) chipsets are essentially QPI to PCI Express interfaces; the 5520 is more intended for graphical workstations and the 5500 for servers that do not need vast amounts of PCI Express connectivity

Hi
I have a repeated problem with
Intel 6 series /C200 Series Chipset family USB enhanced host controller 1C26, Win 10 x64 driver with wireless mouse & keyboard, fails on cold start up or restart.
Windows 10 64 bit (all latest updates as of, 29. April 219), latest BIOS and other drivers too.
On a cold start up Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard are dead, or at least no connection to the system. Every time!.
The receivers for the Keyboard and mouse are connected to rear USB sockets - directly off of the motherboard (Asus P8Z68-V)
Problem started some months ago (after working fine for years). Very probably after one of the Win 10 Updates.
I have uninstalled it in device manager and deleted drivers too, and auto-reinstalled with (I presume Latest) driver. But same problem as before on cold and restart.
Error status:
In device manager status reads:
'Cannot start. Code (10)
Insufficient resources to complete API.'
Temporary fix: works every time but annoying.
1. Connect a wired mouse to front USB panel on the PC
2. Open device manager - using wired mouse.
3 Scroll down to 'Intel 6 series /C200 Series Chipset family USB enhanced host controller 1C26' where warning sign is visible.
4. Right click 'Disable' and confirm 'Yes'
5. Right click on the Disabled, and select enable.
and then devices work again. This has to be done after every restart/power Up.
Deleting and reinstalling did not work.
Is there a permanent fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
