Two motherboards in 3 hours now have dead USB ports due to a mysterious issue. Half of the USB devices I plugged in are also completely dead (2 USB installers, 2 wireless adapters, 1 mechanical keyboard).
Could it have been a software issue? I was booting from the same SSD that had driver issues. Did I unintentionally create some sort of virus?
Could it have been the PSU? It had worked with about 6 other motherboards in the last few months.
Could it have been the case? One of the standoffs broke, but why did it only kill USB ports?
In any case, I am not touching these 3 components anymore so I cannot troubleshoot the issue, but I still want to at least get an idea of what was happening.
