New Comp; USB Controller Doesn't Work

As I can understand, it is not the usb port on the back of your comp...

Try plugging your gamepad in another usb port (in preference, the back because its directly on your mobo). If it is working, it may just be that the cable that join your usb port to your mobo is disconnected (see the manual for this)

Or try using a different usb device: another gamepad, a mouse, or anything usb

Finally, when you plug your gamepad in, go chek if it is the device manager and in the game controller (in control panel)

What chipset do you have? Both the Intel 865 and ICH5R chipsets have a proclivity for burning out due to (it is thought) an inability to handle higher current draws.

Those who do have these chipsets have been advised to use a powered USB hub to feed their devices, particularly those that are inserted and removed often to reduce the risk of blowing that southbridge.
