    Sorry if this is the wrong area seemed right after a quick glance. I have a dell xps l701x. The rear usb ports don't work i think it's a driver issue but can't find the right driver? Happened after windows was re installed. The rear hdmi port didn't work either but i found that driver and it works perfect now. Any ideas?

    Sounds like you need to install the USB 3.0 drivers.

    One of the Input or Chipset drivers I think.
