Since yesterday evening my PC has been suffering from a number of issues. Two fans on the GPU card stopped working, my keyboard even though it works in BIOS does not work with the login screen nor afterwards and a number of my software seems to be acting weird.
I am using Windows 8.1, an MSI Z97-G55 mobo, 2x4GB RAM, Sapphire r9 290 Vapor-X, EVGA 850W PSU, Asus VS247H-P monitor and Gigabyte Force keyboard. It was working fine for about two weeks now, I ran a GPU test and a RAM one and both passed, my CPU temperatures were a bit high but I am using a stock cooler (Intel i5 Devil's Canyon). Yesterday I tried to hook up a couple extra cables from my monitor to my PC in hopes of getting sound and although that did not work, it was still functioning when I turned my PC off.
Some of my software like my antivirus (bitDefender) is not working and things like ToolwizCare which shows me how long my startup is taking showed me the time from yesterday evening (so about 400 minutes). Besides my keyboard, two of my GPU fanss also stopped rotating but I am not quite sure if that was from before or as a result of yesterday's problems. I tried checking my hardware and my mobo seems fine. There are no screws or anything loose, all cables seem to be connected. I tried restarting and also recovery but that did not work as apparently my anti virus was blocking it (even though it was off). The keyboard works with other computers too so it is not broken. I have also tried updating my drivers and it seems like there are a number of unrecognised devices (mainly those located in the USB slots I think, although not my mouse) and I cannot download their drivers. I am at a loss of what to do. I would like to restore my keyboard first and take it from there but so far nothing has worked (it is a usb one). Thanks for any help!
