What kind of peripherals are you connecting? Sometimes if an external device is drawing too much power, then it will shut down one of the USB ports. Make a test connecting two usb flash drives, it should work ok.

THank you, I have tested with two flash drives and they work so the power issue must be correct. Frustrating!
Yes, it is, you should also check if your peripheral has 2 USB connectors, then you must use both of them.
