I've started a new thread because my previous one isn't being addressed properly. My issue is different now. With the front USB 2.0 header connected, none of the USB ports function. When I power on the PC while something is plugged in, it crashes and shows a black screen with a white line at the top left. If I skip the front USB port, the USB 3.0 works but the USB 2.0 doesn't. I'm using the GIGABYTE B450M DS3H WIFI board. I've tried various solutions suggested in earlier discussions, but nothing resolved it. I suspect a hardware problem—could be related to the motherboard or case. Since I don’t have time to return the faulty unit, I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Its quite simple, dont use them. Clearly something is wrong with the Cable or the connector, there isnt a simple fix. Thats pretty much it.

It seems you're likely referring to motherboard USB headers. You might want to replace them with another type if needed. Before changing anything, inspect the cable and header for visible damage or missing pins.

It might be the board is broken and it's not functioning due to the USB 2 and 3 separation.

It seems the connections or wires are damaged, leading to a short circuit to ground, which explains the problem. Avoid using it or try a different USB 2.0 port or motherboard. Other solutions don't seem worthwhile.

I'd examine the front panel PCB for any visible damage. There could also be a component lodged in the port causing a short circuit. If the connections aren't aligned with the header, you can remove them and repair them using basic pliers. You might discover that just one of the two ports is the culprit, so removing that one could restore functionality to the other.

It seems the motherboard has just one header, which could explain the issue. There doesn’t appear to be any obvious damage. This likely points to problems with the case’s wiring rather than the motherboard itself.

Check the USB connector layout on the motherboard side. Verify the pin configuration matches the manufacturer’s specifications. Ensure there are no cross-connections or damaged wiring. Confirm that soldering isn’t interfering with signal paths.

Check if the header is properly connected before attempting any further steps. If not secured, consult the manual for correct installation instructions.

no i mean if the internal connector is connected to the motherboard but there's nothing plugged into the port technically the connection is open. so the motherboard shouldn't "see" any difference... so the problem should be on the PCB not in the pinout
