A strange thing just happened i use my usb ports on my monitor and this morning they stopped working....which to me is not uncommon any way i took my logitech receiver out and put it in the ports on the front of my pc and it worked fine...i then went to put my corsair vengeance 2000 wireless headset adapter in the back of the pc as its pretty big and didnt want it sticking out of the front.
Anyway it would not work....uh uh i thought my usb ports are dead on the motherboard or something so i just to make sure i turned pc off and unplugged it from the wall turned it around just to make sure all was fine....
plugged it back in went into the bios and hey presto the mouse was working so booted up windows and works fine again....my question is what couldve caused this and i persume unplugging from the wall may have helped in someway....any info would be grateful on this thanks
 
well i found a new bios update less than a week old mentioning fixes usb compatible problems im wondering if it was that now....
 
well done the bios update everything has been fine...funny as the bios before it only came out a few weeks earlier....so lets hope thats what it is thanks guys...
