No power to peripherals

So I was just browsing, when my computer hangs. Upon rebooting, I ran into the problem that none of my peripherals (mouse, keyboard and monitor) are powered up. I post just fine, I get the single short beep that signals everything is detected and working. Then Windows starts loading. My keyboard and mouse power off, which is normal. But instead of powering back on and getting to the logon screen, none of the peripherals get power. Sometimes though it goes into "recovery mode", where the peripherals get power. Also, if I let the system just be there, my peripherals get short flashes of power (LEDs flash on and off).

I don't really have any idea where to start troubleshooting. I did run my CPU and GPU overclocked, but they were pretty conservative settings, and my temps were always in check. Also, I have been running without problems for 9 months or so.

My suspicions are on the PSU, since it's power related. Anyone had the same problems or have an idea what is causing this?

My specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 @4.1 GHz 1.26875V
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (stock settings)
Mobo: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
GPU: Club3D R9 280X @1125/1525
PSU: Corsair CX600M
Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO
Storage: Kingston V300 120GB SSD + WD Blue 1TB
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

The CX600's seem to have issues, you could try returning it and getting a replacement(refund) and see if that helps, maybe just buy a completely different one.

Actually figured out that it was Windows or some drivers that decided to commit suicide and caused the problems. I've got the rig back up and running now after a refresh of my Windows install.

Glad to hear it, the PSU would have been a hassle.

Yeah, if you're getting it to work in one system mode but not another, that's a strong hint that there's a software problem. Glad you were able to get it sorted out.
