Has your motherboard BIOS issue caused any problems?
Following the power outage, your PSU failed, and after trying to boot your PC, the motherboard isn’t detecting your mouse or keyboard even though they receive power. The RGB lights are on, but nothing responds. I own an ASUS Maximus V FORMLUA board; those familiar with it know it has a power and reset switch built in, yet the power button doesn’t work when I try to turn it on. Pressing it to shut down works, and resetting it functions properly. My friends who use the same board told me the issue lies with the BIOS chip—replacing it would fix it, but I can’t flash or reset it myself because the motherboard doesn’t recognize USB devices or my keyboard/mouse yet, no matter which slot I use. Please advise.
The problem with power supplies failing often means they can damage any component during installation, leaving everything uncertain. It seems the PSU might have caused more than just a minor issue—possibly harming the motherboard, CPU, or graphics card. While this scenario is less common now, it’s still possible. You shouldn’t trust any single part, even if you replaced the PSU, since it could be defective. This is why people ask whether the new PSU is reliable. A blown PSU can lead to a non-functional machine, making troubleshooting costly when no working unit is available for comparison.
the video card and cpu is just fine no problems with them, i tested them on another system and all is good with them. getting back to the motherboard it turns on but by shorting the 24pin whiles pluged into the mb and shows it is reading my hardrives cpu and gpu...we did examine the blown psu and the fuse is blown on the psu but cannot replace it as it is a built in fuse...we used a 250w psu to test the psu without the gpu as for new psu im still wainting on it to arrive its a 550w im getting.
we have verified the performance on the GPU under real conditions. after checking the PSU, the fuse was blown and cannot be replaced since it's a built-in fuse. i was using a reliable brand called Armaggeddon, but for a new PSU I haven't received it yet—this one is a Raidmax 550w model.
It's completely likely you damaged the USB ports. Noticed it occur, illumination remains functional, yet information pathways are nonfunctional.
