I'm embarrassed to say that I destroyed a PCIE slot on my motherboard when removing the GPU. Remember to unlock it first! I happened to have another one on hand so I installed everything on the new board. I've had nothing but problems since.
90% of the time when I power on the PC, fans and lights turn on, but the mouse, monitor and keyboard do nothing. I have to force a shutdown by holding the power button. I unplug the power supply, then uninstall and reinstall the RAM and reboot the computer. Everything works after doing this (except the mouse sometimes, resulting in repeating the whole process). Is this a motherboard issue? Or could it be Windows? I'm at a loss. This is my first build and everything was running beautifully until I destroyed my PCIE and had to put everything on a new board.
Specs:
Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
