USB ports not working after multiple crashes
Hello Sevenforums
prologue:
A problem recently arose whilst trying to get my desktop to BOOT properly. There is a problem with the Graphics card needing to be "wiggled and tensioned" into a "golden spot" where all PCI-e pins magically touch and connect, so that the system will run. Often when this happens, the system will then hang/freeze shortly after, because the card properly wasn't seated that well after all.
Now able to consistently boot, i am now faced with the problem of not being able to use any of my USB ports. At the BIOS screen and system loadup screen, my mouse and keyboard will light up and work flawlessly.
But when i get to the welcome screen, both devices will "switch off", but still receive power as indicated by a few LED's.
i can use a standard PS/2 keyboard, though it should only serve to get my primary devices working with the system again.
I wonder what could be the cause of this? Searching other forums i assume it's a Software/driver issue, but if that's the case, then i have no idea how to fix it
Thank you in advance
