As the subject says...when I have the front usb header (there are two headers, I get the same behavior regardless which one I plug into) on my Gigabyte EP45-DS3L motherboard connected to the lead from my Antec P182 my computer will not start...I get nothing. Unplug it and everything works just fine. Anyone experienced this before or have any ideas? I searched on google for people having similar problems but couldn't find any other cases of this
 
try another usb header on the mobo. if still, maybe its a miswired cable and shorting
 
tried the second header on the mobo, same issue..no boot. Compared diagrams from mobo and case manuals, they share the same pin assignment--intel standard.
 
id test with another motherboard to rule out the actual usb ports and wires. but if u can rule it out by testing with another mobo, then id guess the wires are messed up on the inside if the cable(maybe cut and touching or just miswired at the port itself)
 
yeah those are all good guesses as to what the problem is i think. unfortunately i don't have another motherboard to test with. thanks
