I've been checking all over google, but everyone in the same situation as myself didn't seem to find a solution.
My front USB ports aren't working right. My mic, PS3 controller, and flash drive are perfectly fine with them. But if I try my external hard drive or phone, the one on the left won't detect it, and the one on the right continually connects and disconnects until the computer won't recognize the device at all unless I restart the whole thing (at which point the entire circus starts all over).
I posted this in components because I'm not sure if it's a mobo issue or a case issue (the hard drive and phone work perfectly fine when plugged into my laptop, kinda rules out a problem with them) or indeed a software issue. Specs as follows
Corsair 400r
Corsair XMS RAM (2x4, 1600)
Asrock Z87 Extreme3
MSI 760
WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
i5 4570
Samsung 840 SSD
SeaSonic m12ii 650
UPDATE: a usb 2.0 hub with 4 ports allows both connection and the transfer of data between my PC and my phone from the left port (haven't tested the right). I guess it stands to reason that this is a problem with USB 3.0 or its header rather than a hardware or underpowered port.
