Front USB Ports Randomly Failing

[justnopenope]

I have a DIYPC Solo T1-R case and a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 Mobo.

Sometimes, at random, my front (and ONLY my front, the MB USB's dont do this) USB ports will disconnect. I have enough USB's in the back for my needs, but the front has a USB 3.0, which I would like to be able to use. I have tried going into power options and disabling all the weird power save things for USB's to no avail. All USB drivers are up to date as well.

what you see in control panel under usb device and check it the board chipset is up to date .

I don't quite understand your explanation.
Also, the motherboard USB's work fine. The Case USB's are the failing ones.

ok if you connect directly to motherboard it work and not from case did you try to connect the usb front panel to another header on the board and the case have 2.0 and 3.0 connector same as board .

the case has a 3.0 header and a 2.0 header, they're separate and in their correct spots.

the front one connect to the motherboard could you have a way to test other usb 3.0 device on the board connector to bypass front panel one .

I don't know how to test them. I tried updating drivers too to no avail...

you could use something like this to connect the 3.0 from front panel to 2.0 on bard and see if it is realy the case connector https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA50M2C26067&cm_re=usb_2.0_to_3.0_adapter-_-9SIA50M2C26067-_-Product

In the end it turns out two things were the problem

1. The DEVICE's drivers were out of date, not the USB ports.
2. I was using some older tech, so it wasn't playing nice with the 3.0's.

so everything work now .
