Motherboard: Asus z97a
GPU: EVGA 980 ti sc
PSU: Thermal Take Tough Power Gold 650w
Hard Drive: 1 TB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
CPU: Intel 4790k 4.0GHz
OS: Windows 10 Home
I recently suffered a power outage and when the power was turned back on, my computer during boot up was sitting at the Asus Boot screen (Where you press F2 to enter BIOS) for about 30 seconds in which the Boot_Device_LED was a solid red. My keyboard and mouse would not react at all, no loading bar or animation was shown. What makes this even more peculiar is that after 30 seconds or so, my peripherals would suddenly activate, the Boot Device LED turn off and then everything would boot as normal. I experienced no other slow downs. The boot time before the outage was almost instantaneous.
I would also like to note that the USB ports on the front of my case, that are plugged into my motherboard, no longer work after the power outage. Everything plugged in is unrecognized by the computer. Other than that, everything works fine.
I can't figure out which part of my computer has received damage. I completely wiped my SSD and re installed my OS in which the boot up was still freezing at the ASUS boot screen with Boot Device LED still lighting up temporarily before finally booting.
Is my motherboard done? Or is it my Hard Drive? I just want to know which to replace so I can move forward.
