Connecting to Front USB Ports Freezes the computer

I'm still investigating the problem. I haven't made any discoveries yet, so I don't really have any updates as for now.

- what's your PSU specs, I'm wondering if you're underpowered..??

I have a 650W PSU with 80+ Gold.
I also have AMD FX 8320 (not overclocked), gtx 770 (not overclocked), 3 fans and 2 SSD.
I don't think I'm underpowered. (Especially since I can play gpu-heavy games such as Civilization 6 for hours on end without having my comptuer freezing.)
I'm leaning more towards static discharges being the culprit, seeing how it happens randomly. But I'm still not sure.

Update!
I contacted my chassi-manufacturer and had them send me a new front USB port, changed it and the problem remains.
I contacted my headset-manufacturer and have them send me a new USB Audio Dongle, changed it and the problem still remains.

My computer just now froze again as I connected my headset, so I went and checked the windows log file. It says a lot of stuff that I don't understand, but nothing seems to point towards a cause of the problem. (I uploaded a screenshot of the relevant errors.)

EDIT: The two bottom ones says "the latest shutdown happened unexpectedly" and "the computer restarted without properly shutting down first" (kernel-power), which both seem to point towards me pressing the tiny reset button on my chassi.
The rest I don't understand.

Your motherboard has the same ASMedia® USB 3.0 controller as my Asus Rampage IV BE. The out of box Windows 10 USB 3.0 drivers are unstable with nearly any USB 3.0 device other than an external drive. You can watch the ports misbehave using the UsbTreeView Freeware from Uwe Sieber, which will also often hang if an offending device, in my case IPhone or IPad, is plugged into a USB 3 port. In fact, plugging my phone into a USB 3.0 port not only hangs the port, but it also cause the IPhone to reset (white screen) upon being unplugged.

Every driver I've tried other than the out of box Windows 10 drivers has resulted in a system too unstable to use. I believe the problem rests 100% with Microsoft software and drivers. The problem was there from the beginning with Windows 10 but became much worse with the Creators update.

Hello! I had the same problem but it was solved by updating ASMedia UDB 3.0 controller driver in Windows 10 device manager.

Interesting that I was looking for possibilities into this same problem myself and I also am using the same ASUS board. I believe it is likely static that has damaged the ports. The problem is random but usually there is one port in front that will render all my ports useless and requires a hard boot. We moved into a new place in October that has fresh new carpet installed and is a static heavy environment. There is no fix I do not think so anyways, time for a new system anyhow but am going to get something to ease up the static in my spare room where my machine is located.
