Comment on LGA1155 motherboard - no USB ports work

Did this happen over time or suddenly all ports dead? Or maybe this is new to you and unknown.
I would try clearing the CMOS is you haven’t already. Unplug power, remove the CMOS battery and wait a minute or more (or short the + and - contacts for a few seconds).
If that doesn’t change things, maybe inspect the CPU. Any problems visible on its contacts or the socket?

got the board for free, it had those issues with the dude’s CPU, it has it with mine too, socket looked OK, no bent pins I can see. isn’t a settings or software issue, tried all that.

Just to make sure - you physically drained the CMOS to reset it, right? That can have different results vs resetting to defaults in the BIOS/UEFI interface.

yes, I know what a CMOS reset is, comes up, says settings are wiped, you want defaults, etc., no change. got a USB to PS2 adapter and I can move around the setup, tried everything and then some.
it hasn’t anything to do with settings, something got fried here and was looking for pointers what to look at.
