Subject: Fatal1ty peripherals suddenly stopped working

I have a Fatal1ty mini ITX, non-overclocked with an R3 CPU running Ubuntu. Suddenly, while it was running, the Wifi and sound suddenly stopped working. The OS can detect the hardware but there is no response so in internet connection or sound output.
Restarting several times does nothing. Is there something on the motherboard I can desolder/replace? I really don't have the cash right now to replace the MB and I'd rather not anyway.
Thanks.

What is dmesg showing? The other logs?

Dmesg doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. Syslog shows a few read errors. However, I did boot from a usb stick and the wireless showed up fine so it's looking like it's an OS error.
Thanks for your time and I'll reinstall the OS (Ubuntu 19.04) and update the situation.

May I kindly suggest you update your BIOS and clear the CMOS before you re-deploy Ubuntu?

Good idea, done. Also reformatted sda1 since the only thing that changed was that I copied a load of data files across - just a precaution in case it had got corrupted.
Reinstalled the OS and, so far, it seems to be running fine. Certainly, having the peripherals suddenly start working again (all of them) seems to rule out a hardware problem.
Thanks for all your help and sorry for wasting your time.
Mike.

Yes, if stuck in such a mess it's always to start from scratch.
Mission critical machines are something else, however. I'm talking about regular PCs here.
It's also a good idea to keep your OS and binaries on a separate disk. This way you can always rebuild from 0 quickly.
Also, time used for a good deed is not time wasted.
May Tux be always in your favor, Mike.
