To preface I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87X motherboard, i7-4770k and 16gb (4x4GB) or Corsair RAM. I've had this computer for over 3 years now, but this issue just started about a month ago.

So it began with the PC not providing power to the monitor and the perpherals for whatever reason all of a sudden one day randomly. I searched and came upon a solution that told me to unplug my PC and hold the power button for 20 seconds and it worked. I had to do that every single time my PC booted and whenever my PC did boot, the only thing that would be wrong was that I had to reinstall my GPU drivers for whatever reason.

I used that solution for about 3 weeks and then just last week I left for a week for vacation and came home and my temporary solution didn't work anymore. So I messed around a bit and the one thing that fixed it was removing the RAM and reseating it. So that worked for a single boot and then I turned off my PC, and when I went to start it, neither solution worked anymore, back to just having no keyboard, mouse or monitor.

So I did some research which led me to believe it was my CMOS battery, so I went and bought a brand new one. That didn't fix my issue either. So now I'm stuck because i have no clue what is causing my problem anymore. I'm assuming I just have a dying motherboard but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated, even if it's only a temporary solution! Thanks!
