    Custom PC Help

    I apologize in advance. It is 3 am so this may be hard to understand

    Ok so I built my PC about 3 months ago.
    About 1 month ago I started to have an issue where my video card would not output an image to my monitor. Everything else was working, my keyboard would power up and all the USB ports worked fine. About 2 weeks ago my USB ports stopped working. I have checked for any loose connections and fixed them. I am not entirely sure what is going on, if anybody could give me any ideas of what I should do/try please feel free to post.

    You can attempt resetting the mobo by removing the CMOS battery and placing it back in. It should be located under your GPU (horrible spot..)

    You should also check the capacitors, since you're using ASUS, they usually only use a few solid state capacitors, or they just don't at all. Most of their boards are worth 1/10th the price to produce compared to similar priced boards.

    I should also note, that the UEFI for this board is horrible, almost all mouse & keyboards WILL NOT WORK through the USB slot without the required software for them.
