Hi there!

Friend brought me his older computer. USB ports (all of them, front and back) suddenly stoped working. It only recognizes mouse and keyboard but no other devices. When thumbdrive is plugged in it founds it but doesn't recognize it. Motherboard is older MSI version (945 neo5-f). I tried deleting usb ports but when windows 7 reinstalled them, nothing changed. So I reinstalled OS. First WIn7, then Win XP because motherboard has no support for Win 7. Story stays the same also with XP. Thumbdrive is shown in BIOS, I even tried format from USB but it stucked in the middle, didn't find any files or something like that. Can I try something else or tell him his motherboard is broken? For me it looks like that.

I tried all usb ports, also tried usb hub, didn't help.
