Power Outage

There was a small power outage, when I turned everything back on both of my monitors and TV work (I tested them on a laptop and they all work fine) however my PC now only recognizes one of my monitors, and only in certain ports. What's even weirder is that if I look at the display setup it does...

So my motherboard (Asus ROG Strix B550-F) needs the latest BIOS update so that the 5600x is compatible. If I were to update the BIOS using the traditional way and a sudden power outage came out of nowhere, the motherboard will be bricked. However, if I were to update the BIOS using the Bios...

The keyboard is an Anne Pro 2 and is connected using a USB C cable, I tried replacing the cable, replacing the slot it is connected to, tried using the wireless mode, but nothing worked. My PC boots in to Windows and all other components seem to work fine. Did my keyboard fry? Is it totally dead?

Power recently cut off and now my PC freezes during the spinning dots. Starting up in recovery mode only tells me “preparing automatic recovery” and leads to a black screen. My PC was plugged into a surge protector. I’m not sure if it helps, but you can take a look at my post history to see the...
