Sounds rather weird - Was anything connected to USB that could result in damage? Such as devices which just draw power from the ports? Fans, chargers, anything?
Does the keybord/mouse work on the ports which won't in OS when you just boot into the BIOS? Or boot to e.g. Linux via flash drive? This can give you a pretty good idea if it is related to your OS or BIOS or even damaged HW.
Did you disconnect power completely for an extended period of time? Like switch of the PSU or pull the cord for >20 seconds?
I suggest you give it a try with the latest BIOS nevertheless, usually the release notes are not giving away all the fixes.
Thanks for reply.
I only had what i normally have connected to the ports at the back, what i've had their for the last few months; keyboard, mouse, gamepad simple things like this if not only these things. Nothing that should draw an excessive amount of power from them.
My keyboard and mouse work on other USB ports just the 4 blue usb ports at the back. All seem to not be working. The red usb ports work fine.
I will try the blue ports in BIOS screen and see if the mouse works here, nice idea. I'll let you know how it works out.
I haven't tried disconnecting power completely but my PC had been off for a good few days recently as I just went on a short break away. So, it has had no power for an extended time but not 'complete' loss of power like unplugging from socket etc.
q) I'm on 1302 BIOS, i heard bad stories with 2010 2103 BIOS. Should i do a BIOS update or do you think the latest BIOS are still to be concerned about? With the posts people have made on them relating to how they are giving problems.
