Update the USB drivers by looking on the manufacturer of the motherboard website or else by opening Device Manager and then right click on the extended host controller and select "Update Driver". Windows often installs a generic USB controller suitable for most computers, but some motherboards have USB ports that work best with a specific controller. Uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver may fix the problem (be careful if you disable the USB ports make sure that you have a PS2 mouse and keyboard to operate your PC). Check in the device manager that there is no yellow exclamation mark, which means a driver issue, next to the USB ports (re-install the drivers if necessary). If either the front or rear connectors are working, it is probably due to a fault in the connection between the USB ports and motherboard (check the extension cables). Try the other USB ports one by one to check if they are properly connected to the motherboard or enabled in the BIOS. There may be a wiring problem between the port(s) and the motherboard (faulty or disconnected cable). One or more USB ports may stop workin due to a failure of the motherboard (after a power surge.). Problem related to USB ports, motherboard, cables: Test other equipment on the same USB port. Check that the connected hardware runs on another computer.
