IP35-e usb problems

everytime i plug the front usb's from my case into these ports, the computer will not boot. any clues on how to fix this? besides not plugging them in.

...sounds like the usb port is shorting out on the case. take your usb assembly out of the case and see if it still continues. if this fixes the problem, wrap the usb housing in thin layer of electrical tape and reinstall into case.

yea grounding issue for sure...
