seems to problem can back again, i didnt manage to get a replacement the other time and continued using.

ok this is the "faulty?" seasonic 520 unit



and i got an old supposingly faulty andyson 500W to check


First my kb and mouse led died out after 5 min turning on the com. then i went to restart the com and reseat the usb. then subsequently cannot power on and the above symptoms occurred. now i using the backup psu and the mouse + kb still wont work, i had to use other ports (usb3) for it to work as below

so your problem is not psu... other component dying soon. How old is your machine? run 24x7?

veryyy long shot, but can u try off psu rocker switch, remove power plug cord from psu. then press & hold power on button on the casing for 10-15sec.
then put everything back, power on goto bios reset to defaults. after reboot see if usb2 ports come back to life or not?

p/s, ur casing rear fan always no spin, is disconnected?

most properly is your mobo got problem, came across such issue before on my friends pc

on cold start, able to boot into window but if try a reboot, cant even startup or sometimes will stuck at windows loading screen
usb ports not working also could be mobo issue, my board had to rma also because of this, one of the usb is always not working properly even after i reinstall the usb driver
