I have the new ASUS A7n8X deluxe motherboard, and none of my USB ports will work. I know I am supposed top install drivers but I cant find any drivers that I have not installed. I have even re-installed them and my USB ports stil dont work. I also have another smaller problem. My new case has USB ports on front, but I can find anywhere on the MB to connect the wires from the case to make those work. I dont really care about the case USB but I do need the ones on the MB to work.

Yes, doc is right. The Bios controls the existing of all ports in your PC.

The ASUS A7N8X deluxe motherboard has 6 USB ports.
Four are on conectors on the back panel.
Two additional USB ports are available on the back by installing the USB/game port bracket in an empty PCI slot. It connects to a header on the motherboard.

For front panel USB port connections you have two options:
1. Use a feed-thru cable to connect two USB front connectors to two of the four back panel USB connectors.
2. Remove the USB/game port bracket and connect the USB header ports to two USB ports in the front.

My case uses both methods to connect front USB ports. This give me four front USB ports and two rear USB ports.

The USB header labeled "USB56" is located near the header for the Control Panel wires. Near it are COM2 and GAME1.
