Devices aren't tied to particular USB ports, but I have come across problems where devices won't work in particular ports. My USB flash key (for example) won't work in the front USB ports unless its plugged into an extension lead (all of a sudden, a flash key + extension lead doesn't seem quite so portable!) so I have to plug it into the back instead.

I don't have a clue what the reasons are for this happening like this. Out of curiousity, you don't happen to have a Gigabyte motherboard do you? As I do, and my partner used to have one and she had USB issues also... yet she doesn't anymore on her new PC!
