TOPIC: in the need of a IT expert here

I have been googling and without any luck. Can any of you guys tell me why when i go into games all my USB ports stop working? I dont know what is causing this, my pc is just over 2 years old.

motherboard Asus x99

Power issue

Maybe the weldings are dead, happened to me on my PS3 and my PS4.
I know it's not the same issue, but maybe look inside of it

Are you overclocked?

Well i actually dont know i bought the pc prebuilt

Might be worth finding more out about it considering it was a prebuilt.

I dont know what to find out man

Seems that my bios are gone

Does like the power cut off to your usb devices? Or are the lights still working on your devices?

buy an external powered usb hub, it's what i need todo for my pc atm due to the usb ports cutting out with a certain amount of usbs plugged in to the mother board, i can't use all ports at one time, ruffly half.

also don't buy cheap powered usb hubs, or they can cause issues with the pc it's self or even catch on fire just like mine nearly did lol.
