I just bought brand new Kingston DT 100G3 16GB Flash drive.
I wanted to give it a go by plugging it in PC USB slot and i was surprised that i didnt loaded up.
So here is the explanation of the issue:

I have 4 USB Slots on Back,2 in front and 4 more in-desk slots.
On back There is only 2 slots occupied. 1 is headset (light) and second is mouse and keyboard together (if you dont know what its in desk usb slots).

So the real deal is that i tried to plug in USB first in front,i tried both free slots in front (which i believe are 2.0 AND PLEASE NOTE that this USB Flash drive is compatible with 3.0 and 2.0) and nothing.
Then i tried to plug it into second free slot(where i always plugged in my older USB flash drive and it always worked) and nothing,then i tried plugging it in second free slot,but it wouldnt let me do it,it cant be plugged it,it doesnt let me,even if its USB slot.
So i unplugged in desk usb cable and plugged in flash. Believe it or not,it worked! So i said " if this worked i should try to plug it in 4th and last slot" where headsets light is connected,i unplugged headset and plugged in flash drive and it didnt work.
After that i plugged it in in-desk free slot,and it worked,i even tried to transfer movie of 2gb to flash drive and it would take 40mins (it was transferring data in 700kb/s..). But in-desk slots always works.

So is there any solution to this complex problem?
If somebody doesnt understand well ill try to explain better or at least take pictures of slots.

And yes,i plugged flash drive in TV it worked fine,i plugged it in lap top,it worked fine.
But my PC is problem i suppose. Now,thing is i tried to connect old flash drive on each slot,and it worked without the problem.
As well i though by uninstalling old flash drive from device manager would do a trick,so i did it,and it didnt worked.
Then i plugged it in in-desk slot (new flash drive) (because it loads up every time there) and i uninstalled it,kingston new flash,and nothing.

Any kind of a solution?
 


Motherboad is ASUS M5A78L-M LX3. It has only 2.0 ports. But as i said this USB supports 2.0.
Funny thing is it loaded up already few times,usb flash drive,but now it doesnt want to load up again..
 


Okay now it loaded it up. I plugged it in front of the PC,and it loaded it up.
Thing i did before that is plugged it in in-desk usb slot and uninstalled it from Device Manager.
Now,problem is i need this USB to be put in back of the PC,and as soon i do that,it wont load it up again.
 


Hm i see. Thanks. I will actually contact Kingston so lets see what they want to say about this.
Yeah i had in mind to get whole new MotherBoard so i think ill go for it.
Its just weird that sometimes its loading up,next time its not.
 


Nah nah,i want whole new right,with same case,so yeah im literally building new PC here.
Yes i had for 3 years or so.

Thought there might be a fix for this issue,but so far it doesnt look good
