A TL;DR will be at the end of my post
This is how my problem began, I was using my computer and then it froze. It stayed on the frozen screen for 5 minutes and then I had to force shutdown the compter because nothing was popping up. When I tried to turn my computer on again my monitor was not showing the start up screen and my keyboard did not turn on (I know because I have a razer keyboard and the light didnt turn on.
I waited an hour and I tried turning the computer on again, it booted up this time and i was able to use it for about an hour. I was watching a youtube video and the screen goes black, my keyboard is getting no power, and I hear no sound. But the computer is still on. I don't think there is a problem with my monitor because the orange light is showing. I also use my tv as a second monitor and that lost signal as well. I dont know anything about computer parts so i wouldnt know where to look if i looked at the parts. I searched up my problem prior to this post and results came up that it could be a problem with the motherboard. I don't know what to do right now, if someone has any idea on how i could fix this then any help is appreciated.
TL;DR. I was watching a youtube video and both my monitors (one being a tv) lost signal, keyboard lost power, and the sound cut off. But my computer still had power and stayed on.

Your computers USB controller could have went I suppose. If it did there is no real way to fix it besides buying a new motherboard.

Thank you for the reply. I unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I bought a new computer. On the upside it's a lot better. On the downside... I spent money.
