I have an Ultra Wizard case, which is about 2 months old. Installed a new mobo last week, and front USB ports worked fine. 2 days ago, they quit. Tried an open header on the mobo, no luck. Have not changed any BIOS settings. How to tell if it's case sockets, cable, mobo? It just started out of the blue, and I don't know how to troubleshoot further. Thanks? :suspiciou
 
plug in your device and reboot. then go to the device manager and look for yellow or red icons and go from there
 
Wouldn't be the first or last time I've seen USB headers "go bad".

There's only a handful of things it could be other than an electronics problem. This includes the USB headers being turned off by a switch, jumper or BIOS setting. You can also check for physical issues (loose connection, physically broken jacks) and lastly, software issues with Windows (if none of your USB ports work, usually).
