The front USB 3.0 ports no longer work on my computer. They used to work but then my computer experienced a few crashes and now they no longer seem to work however the ones on the back of the computer still do. I tried downloading usb 3.0 drivers from asus's website and the chipset drivers for my motherboard. Would anyone know how to determine what drivers I would need or if the drivers are even the issue?

Thanks
