PC acting strange lately?

Not too long ago I posted a question about my computer monitor turning itself off and back on at random on a few other sites, and I still have yet to find a solution to that problem. It hasn't seemed to have gotten worse, but it certainly isn't fixed. Now, ontop of my monitor issue, I'm having keyboard problems. My keyboard (CM Storm Trigger) would randomly disconnect and reconnect itself whenever my girlfriend would play league of legends. Then, it began doing it during any activity. Now, the red backlight has turned itself off and won't turn back on. I'm starting to worry about these issues possibly being a problem with my computer itself. It seems that all of my peripherals (including my JBL creature sound system doing the exact same on/off thing a while back) are having a hard time staying in a working state. My monitor turns itself off (theres a faint click when this happens) and on (the power light stays on and theres no "no signal" message), my keyboard turns itself off and on, and now the backlight has turned off permanently, and at one point my JBL creature would turn itself off and on without any particular explanation, however that hasn't happened in some time. I can't narrow it down to a PC PSU issue, because the monitor and creature use their own power supply. I can't narrow it down to a GPU issue because the keyboard and sound system don't hook up to the GPU. They hook up to the motherboard. I'm not sure what the issue is but I have a few ideas, any else are welcome. I think it's either the CMOS battery on my mobo, or maybe a driver issue somewhere along the line. Would a complete wipe fix this problem? Or no? Please help, this is driving me nuts and I can't find answers anywhere online.
 
if its happening to externally powered peripherals then it sounds like it a problem with the wall socket, ring main the sockets are attached to or the power strip its all plugged into.

try a different power strip or directly into the wall if its all plugged into the same power strip.

Well the monitor and JBL creature are powered externally, but the keyboard isn't. It has the option to be powered externally for the backlight, but I dont' have the adapter for it
