Apologies if this thread doesn't end up in the right place.
This is on a new build. When I go to plug in a USB plug that's powered to one of the front panel ports, if it touches the port in a certain way it causes one of my monitors (HDMI) to flicker green for a split second (this also shows up in the same brief flash when the computer shuts down, if relevant). Nothing happens if it's not a powered USB plug, and this doesn't happen with the back panel USBs, just the front ones. I can't imagine why or how only the front panel USB would be affecting the monitor for some reason.
I was a bit concerned about it at first, but then I just had a SD card that was plugged into one of the front USBs via an adapter end up corrupted after being unplugged (I always make sure to use the safely remove device feature), which makes me worried this isn't some innocuous coincidence, and these ports are a danger to any device I dare connect to them. I really don't need this thing nuking anything more important if that's what it's trying to do.
I've checked all the connections and wires for anything that might be making contact that shouldn't be but nothing appears wrong, and I've already swapped out the entire motherboard for an unrelated reason. The only things I can think of is maybe the case's front panel might be poorly wired (Lian Li Lancool 205M, just for extra information), or maybe even the PSU (EVGA Supernova 650 G5) is defective in some fashion, but I don't know how I'd be able to verify since I do not have spare ones to test with.
Any suggestions or reasons why this could be happening would be appreciated.
