Nothing is detected in USB2.0 ports

[Traumaturge]

Installed from LiveCD. Using Mageia 3 64-bit with GNOME.

Not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.

I have six USB2.0 ports and two USB3.0 ports. UEFI and even GRUB don't always recognize the 3.0 ports, but once Mageia is started they work every time. Thus, they are reserved for the keyboard and mouse. But nothing I put into the 2.0 ports is being detected. Is there a possible software-side fix for this or is this a case of a bad mobo?
