Cannot upload program through usbtiny

Hello all, I have a usbtinyISP burner and I tried to program the Arduino board with it (I need to use it instead of serial)
I have come across this error :

Arduino: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

I have installed the correct drivers from : Drivers | USBtinyISP | Adafruit Learning System

It did work for me a couple of days ago, really have no idea why this error showed up for me this time...
Other than that I have tried to burn the bootloader into the board, it was successful but again, when trying to load the sketch itself it just gave me this error again and again.. if anyone knows a solution for this I'll be thankful.

I have come to a weird solution for this, I had to install the "Barebones Atmega Chips (no bootloader)" in the boards manager to get this to work... this is really strange but it seems to work for me now...
