Built this computer a few weeks ago, bought this motherboard off some dude on Reddit who claimed it to be new. Weirdly, a few weeks in the bottom most usb 3.0 port wouldn't let my keyboard work. So I swapped my keyboard and amp/dac. The dac would use the 3.0 and my keyboard the 3.1. Finally after weeks it just stopped working with my dac and nothing I tried can bring it back.

I would suspect it's broken, but the fact it worked with one peripheral and not the other. And now that it randomly stopped mid game.

Any ideas what could be happening? Not really sure what to try beyond reinstalling drivers, but 3.0 drivers are from Microsoft(Windows 10 supports it) so the only drivers I can install are for 3.1. I have a usb to type c adapter that I am now using but would like that other port to work or at least know it's broken.
