Hello,
I built this PC three or so years ago and the build has been going smoothly. I had a tech savvy friend help build it who is no longer around to lend me a hand, and need help with a small situaiton..
Summary Operating System Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 - Pastebin.com
Basically, the entire front panel of the connections (usb, audio) no longer function, and some of the back panel usb slots don't function, although the back 3.0 ones do. THe fan controls, however, do still work on the front panel. Initially only the front 3.0 usbs stopped working, now nothing up front does. I notice when plugging my Snowball mic into any of these slots it powers on, but no connection is made to the computer via any usb device.
I've been looking through my manuals for the case and mobo but I'm honestly not sure what to do. I've been using a USB hub from the functioning ports to circumvent this, but it has been like this for a few years and I finally got a full sunday to myself, so I figured I'd poke around a bit...
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start for this sort of problem? I honestly don't have any idea what to do. The ports having power is intriguing though....right now I'm on the mobo driver page and have been updating drivers to no avail.
Any advice would be much obliged!
