    When I plug anything in nothing happens. The device does not see a connection and the computer does not act like anything is plugged in (install drivers and such) Any ideas on how to fix it. I have tried a complete wipe and fresh install with no luck.

    I don't know if this helps, but there are some USB settings in the BIOS. Check them out.
