Windows 8.1 is very stable when it comes to drivers. Use
driver booster to make sure it has the USB drivers properly installed.
Thanks for your help so far. I have tried both of the black slots on the mobo (Im assuming they're usb 2.0) and I pulled the the front usb ports of an old case an plugged them in as well. No work,so I think we've narrowed it down to the motherboard or a driver issue.
I even reinstalled windows.
This is driving me crazy. I need these ports for controllers and my headset to work. I'm running my turtle beach X42's through a wired xbox 360 controller (For the mic) and the chord is too short to reach around the back and to my seat.
I ran the driver booster and found that some things were way outdated so that was a great tool that I didn't know about Thanks !!!
However nothing about usb ports or drivers showed up.
Where does that leave me ?
Could the motherboard be messed up ? I find it odd that out of 5 usb slots,none work. The only usb ports that work are on the back of the mobo.
Here is a picture of the mobo with the slots highlighted

The 3.0 that's in the center doesn't work either. It's a rectangular slot that connects to two a removable slots in the back of the case.
I hope that picture can give you an idea or help some how.
I found this http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1000731/ but that doesn't help me. I've tried every plug and nothing works
Here is the support section for my mobo http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PRO/HelpDesk/
I would really appreciate any help you guys may have. I'm willing to try anything at this point.
