So I have a USB with Lucid Puppy Linux version 528, and it still works on all of my other PCs. On this PC, which surprisingly I haven't used Linux on during this PC's one year of existence, it boots to the bootscreen and then after that, when it's about to search for the drivers, lupu_528.sfs, and whatever is needed to run Puppy Linux, the USB ports shut off. All of them. Including my USB that Linux is trying to run from, the keyboard, the Wi-Fi adapter, my external HDD, etc. Only thing I can do from there is force the computer to power off.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

I should also mention that when powering off the PC via Windows 10, the mouse and the Wi-Fi adapter remain powered on for some reason. The keyboard doesn't.

Building this PC is the original reason i joined Tom's Hardware, couldn't have decided on these parts without you! :)

That's a possibility. I was trying to remember what it was until you reminded me :)
I will try upon the next reboot. Which is soon.
