The USB ports, HDMI and front panel all cease functioning unexpectedly. However, the computer remains powered on, with the CPU and GPU fans continuing to operate. This issue is intermittent; it might resolve for weeks before recurring after short periods. It occurs regardless of activity—while gaming, browsing, in BIOS, or during startup. I lack spare components to assist troubleshooting, but I've attempted some simple solutions: testing RAM one at a time, disconnecting the HDD and using only the SSD, unplugging all USB devices, and removing the GPU because the CPU lacks built-in graphics.

Setup details:
- Ryzen 5 3600
- KFA2 GTX 1060 6GB
- 2x 8GB DDR4 RAM
- MSI B450M-A PRO MAX motherboard
- WD GREEN 120GB SATA SSD

I don't know the exact brand, but it's a 600W bronze model.
