On my case. My Front panel Usb ports are Working but wont recognize anything plugged into them. i get the windows message saying its malfunctioned and it comes up in my device manager as unknown device. and this is anything i plug into it. my phone charger my flash drive my headset usb connector. and these things all work because if i plug them into the Mother board Usb ports they work just fine. I just want to fix this problem because currently my pc is sitting backwards on my desk just so i can plug everything into the back of the case. has anyone else ever expirenced this problem?

Check that the 20 pin USB3.0 cable is firmly in its header. It is a rather poor design with no locking means. I presume you have your USB3.0 drivers installed, since the rear ports are working. And please list the exact board in question.

The Mobo is the: EVGA Z97 Stinger Mini ITX Intel Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188158) Yes my drivers are installed and up to date. I made sure it was all the way in the other day. however i did notice what seemed like a slightly bent pin on the board but if thats the problem the entire port wouldn't work at all.

Actually! i just fixed it thanks to you! I checked the 20 pin connector and there was no bent pin (it must've been the lighting) and i realized i had it plugged in backwards the little slit in the board and the arrow on the connector weren't facing each other. I feel so stupid. thank you for recommending i check that though!
