When I plug anything into my front USB port of my computer, my internet is gone after a while. Internet comes from a wireles adapter plugged into a USB port at the back. When I unplug and re-plug the adapter at the back, then the internet comes back. How can I fix this?
 
You might not have enough power supplied to the usb ports so when you plug something else in, your wireless cuts out on you. You might want to try a powered usb hub for your other usb devices and leave the wireless hooked up to your computer usb port.
 
I agree with above ^^
Also confirm all manufacture (or motherboard) drivers are up to date. Sometimes there may even be a related Bios revision update (although Bios updates can be critical)
Also make sure that you are running the latest MS Security updates and Service Packs
And lastly, sadly usually the first hardware component to fault on a motherboard is USB :(
