I have a MSI MOBO running XP,
for at least a couple years the front USB ports have worked fine,
I use them for a printer , camera, Cell phone, external HD's
I have not been inside the comp
Now out of now where they are dead...well sorta,
They dont reconize anything I plug into them,
However, the LED on the EXternal harddrive does still light up when plugged in yet it like all other things plugged in doesnt work not reconized,
I built the comp but in many ways I am a novice,
Can something overpower a USB port and blow it out?
The rear ports built into the mobo still work,
So what do you guys think is wrong with my front ports?
Many thanks for help,
Cheers,
