Hello guys I am new here.
I have Asrock Z490 Taichi MB , and it suddenly back USB ports are stopped working, however DP and HDMI are fine.
Please help, what could this be? Well I noticed there were 2 pins of cpu socket been bent and I fixed them. I think after that happened , usb ports are stopped working.
Any ideas guys

When currents, inside the CPU start to flow different, it can damage the CPU.
Check the ins in the socket again, and when fitting a CPU cooler, do NOT overtighten it, as long as it is flat on the CPU surface, and cannot move around, the pressure is within Intel specs.
Besides Noctua, most coolers go way beyond the Intel specs, when it comes to the rpessure they apply onto the CPU/Socket
As a result, the CPU bends, and this in return cause contact problems.
When the pressure is really high, the socket pins can become stuck, in the landing pads on the CPU, and when removing the CPU, pins can be damaged.
