It does sound like a faulty USB port possibly shorting on something. Are you sure the USB 3.0 is soldered on? The back ports on the Motherboard will be but the front ports on the case will be connected by a cable to the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard, you could try disconnecting that and see if the problem persists.

See the bottom of this page for a labelled motherboard reference: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PROGEN3/

Thank you for reply.

USB 3.0 port is soldered on motherboard. It in back ports on the motherboard.
Look at to the ports of motherboard, you will see two USB 3.0 ports and Ethernet port in single piece.
USB 3.0 in the bottom is not working when i plug in keyboard.

MY QUESTION IS: can i remove the USB 3.0 port or the entire piece from motherboard without any problems ?

Thats what i said, so its the USB in the motherboard I/O that isn't working. No, i wouldn't recommend it, chances are it would just cause more issues, unless you have a part the exact same to replace it with and know your way around a soldering iron.
