Hello everyone!
I would like your help with my crazy pc....
My problem is: when i plug a usb device on my front panel's usb ports any other device plugged on it stops working! Sometimes when i unplug them and plug them back again it works but not always. When i go to the device manager and scan for new devices it stucks and when i try to reboot it stucks at turning off pc screen.
Please help :)

Likely the front panel ports are damaged. Unplug them and see if the problem goes away when you use the ports on the rear.

If it does, take a close look at the ports for bent metal, broken plastic, or extreme wear. Not that easy to replace front panel ports. You can do things like get a USB hub and plug it into the rear and bring that around to the front for a simple fix.

No video needed. I formated the pc and things got better for some reason i don't understand. Now usb works ok.... Sometimes it disconnects but not even close to what it was before. I checked for bended pins nothing. Wifi works fine now. Thanks for your help guys!
