Here's the deal:
My computer starts up just fine, I can use it for as long as I'd like. In fact, it will run fine for days or weeks, but as soon as I touch the front panel USB ports with a USB cable (no device attached) something stops responding.
I have tried switching to different USB headers, but each time something else goes wrong. With front USB header #1, my monitor would lose signal. With front USB header #4, my JMicron controller quits on me and some disks disappear along with onboard NIC.
I have NOT disassembled the system completely to test yet, and I would LOVE to avoid doing so, but I am open to all ideas. From the looks of things I have faulty USB ports on the front of the case, but a quick inspection shows no visible signs of a problem. For the time being, I have disconnected the front panel headers without issue, but I'd like to get this working!
Thanks in advance for any input!
