OP, first thing, try resetting your CMOS battery on your motherboard. Turn off your PC, even if you have to hold the power button for this, fine. Unplug the power cable from the wall, turn your PSU off and press the power button a few more times. Take the side panel off and make sure you are not on carpet and ground yourself by touching the inside of the case to minimise as much static electricity as possible. On your motherboard you will fine a little silver round battery that is bigger than a watch battery, take that out and keep it out for about 10 minutes. Put it back in (don't close side panel yet, you may be going back in there.) Turn on your PC again and let it boot up again, the boot process may take longer from a clean CMOS so don't worry if it's taking longer than normal. See if all your USB ports work like they should. If they still don't work and if you have another USB header that can be used on your motherboard, turn off all power again and try switching the header. Turn your PC back on and try it again. If you have a PS2 adapter for your keyboard/mouse, you can also connect that into the back of your PC and see if that at least responds so you can do what you need to do.

I want to say I believe it's a motherboard issue. The reason I say this is because you mention your PC does not power off all the way without holding the power button; however that also makes me believe it can be a PSU issue. Motherboard and PSU issues would both cause the power off lock-up as well as the USB ports suddenly stop working. As for the AMD error you got, I can't help there as I have not used an AMD card in years and never got any errors when I used one, especially the error you got.

I'll try to get back to your response in a few hours to help further if you need it.


I reset cmos, unplugged psu and took battery out for 10 min and rebooted.
Usb ports are still not working.
The only usb port that works is one labeled, "USB 3.1 Gen 2 TYPE A" I've been swapping my kb & mouse in that port to navigate through my pc to try to fix this.

I appreciate everyone's help but I already called an it guy as this is frustrating me far more than it should as I'm no pc wiz and barely have a clue wtf I'm doing.
fml rip wallet.





USB 3.1 is a separate header on the motherboard so you more than likely fried your USB 2.0 ports somehow. Luckily as long as nothing else is damage, you can always buy a 4 USB hub for less than $20 so you can save yourself buying a new motherboard.


I have a usb hub, plugged it into the 3.1 port then plugged my kb & mouse into the hub and kb lit up for a second then lights turned off.

Alright, so nothing on this thread or anything I've said through PMs has worked?

I've never seen anything like this so I'm at a loss but I'm thinking it's either an issue with the motherboard, or potentially OS. So first thing I'd do is just re-install OS from scratch and see if that does anything, if not, RMA the motherboard. Both of these solutions are kind of a pain in the ass but it's all I can think of since nothing else has worked.

Thank you everyone for trying to help! To show my appreciation I have gone and +repped all of you.
Sadly nothing has helped so I called an IT guy. He took a look at it and apparently I fried my usb pins I forgot what exactly he called it but basically my usb ports don't work.
Which sucks because all I did was restart my computer and it crapped out.
Everything is fine now he installed some usb port hub thing, it will hold me over until I decide to buy a new mobo.

Thanks again everyone!
