    Power surge on the mobo could of cause the usb ports to short out, check the device manager under universal serial bus controllers click the plus sign to expand and look under host controllers ,usb hub and make sure there is no exclamation mark beside them if there is one update the driver , if there is none then follow the path of the front usb connector to the motherboard unhook it, the pc should work normal the front usb ports might need to be replace
