I've run into a few problems but they've all been solved. One issue that is persisting; however, is that whenever I connect a USB of some sort to the back USB ports on my tower, Windows simply refuses to work and freezes. This, strangely enough, doesn't happen if I use the USB ports on the front of my case. However, this wouldn't be as much of an annoyance if it weren't for the fact that I can't use my Ethernet cable to get Internet (I would have to connect it through a port in the back of the case, and when my cable's in the port, Windows freezes).
I've installed all of the graphics card's and motherboard's drivers available through AMD's and Gigabyte's websites respectively, however, attempting to use the back USB ports still results in Windows freezing.
Does anybody have a clue as to what I should do?
