hi,

For some reason my front usb3.0 slots aren't working (from my corsair tower).
My other usb3.0 slots work perfectly fine.
But I need the front for my headset and external hard drives.
I cant get them to work.
Any solutions?
 
Solution
Since the usb3 back ports are working, drivers for it are installed.

Check the usb3 connection to the motherboard. It is the plug next to the dimm slots under the 24pin atx power;

Hi,

Your other usb3 ports i assume are at the back?

Have they worked before? Have you done any work inside the case since? Check the usb3 header from the case is connected to the motherboard usb3 pins and are on properly.

What motherboard do you have?
