bought a mobo from China(80$) with a 6770m chip already soldered think i should go all the way and say fck it and upgrade the CPU? the CPU i got it in it is still more powerful than what manufacturers are offering right now THose U processors are underpowered as fck. who cares about battery life in a 17"?

if you have a dvd drive, boot up a linux livecd, ubuntu, linuxmint any desktop os. if your usb ports work then it should rule out if its a hardware or software issue for good.

This is the quickest and easiest diagnostic tool. Everything else you'll do is just taking a wild guess.

i have ubuntu/windows 10 with ubuntu being the main OS. The controllers are being recognized but no power comes out of the ports. and USB devices aren't being recognized at boot either

Sounds like a hardware issue, it's possible the usb ports may need to be reflowed/soldered, the pins/contacts could have lifted.

nah got a new mobo from china with the GPU chip already on there. all i have to do is add the cpu. As far as the ports, they are dead. I bought an Cooler and plugged them in the USB port. the usb ports stopped working shortly after that(the Usb ports on the right side were already dead).
