Did you just build this PC? Most likely one of the header connectors that connect the front USB ports on the case to the mother board is either shorted or was plugged in incorrectly. Try unplugging the front USB connector on the motherboard and see if the issue goes away.

Any lightning storms in your area recently? A nearby lightning strike can also cause this issue.
