Hello, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction without getting too technical, as I am not. Please read very carefully as I describe exactly the unique problems that have happen, as it may be extremely obvious to someone who knows their stuff about computers. I know there are other threads similar to this problem, but I feel as though mine is a little bit different due to some reasons listed below.

HOW IT ALL STARTED:
Before this problem started, I had a few blue screens and restarts that happened (which I ignored due to being an idiot). The problem evolved into being able to start up my computer with no problems, but my keyboard wouldn't work all of the time without a re-boot while still being properly plugged in (it was like 50%-50% it would work).

WHAT IT'S CURRENTLY AT:

Now my computer does not start unless I have reset the CMOS EVERY TIME. When it does start, it goes to the OS and my keyboard and mouse re-install themselves, and keep "plugging and un-plugging" themselves back in and out with the computer noise continuing to sound the noise for a USB being plugged in. During this time, my mouse will stop working, and then work again after it's recognized again. This will happen continuously for 4-10minutes, and then my computer will freeze and have to be forced shutdown (in which the CMOS will have to be re-set to POST).

This feels like a MOBO problem, but I don't want to get too spend happy as college loans are killing me.

SPECS:

MOBO: ASRock 870 EXTREME3 AM3 AMD 870 5 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 6-Core 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket AM3 125W HDE00ZFBGRBOX

GPU: R9 270x

Thank you for your time, and literally any input towards my cause.

After a flash or a reset, you will need to set up the BIOS correctly again. And then the memory speed and timings are important too. Set optimized defaults then make sure the memory is at advertised speeds and etc. Save settings and exit.
