Another update, all the usb ports on the motherboard and case are still working. but besides that still no luck

Tried that a couple times. Still nothing Currently have it unplugged, and going to wait about an hour to see if that helps

I was recently using my computer and all the sudden it lost power. I had it plugged in to a surge protector. I have a Asus Maximus IX Hero. I can tell my power supply works because other lights on my computer turn on, but not the motherboard. The two 7 segment displays at the top that usually display a code (can't remember the name) aren't showing anything. However the red "start" button at the bottom of the motherboard still lights up. I don't know if this is getting power from somewhere else, or maybe my motherboard actually isn't dead, and I'm just missing something. Any help or advice would be appreciated (I am still really new to the computer building world) Thank you!

I just built my first computer (yay!) Everything is working perfectly, except my keyboard (Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2). I plug it in, and nothing happens; No Keyboard Detected. I tried plugging it into my laptop, and my friends computer, same problem on both. I initially assumed it was just DOA, but upon further testing I notice that my computer recognizes when I plug the 3.5 audio jack in, and also the USB port on the keyboard itself also works. I was just hoping someone could help me figure out this problem. (I've already emailed Razer and am waiting for a response)

So I think I understand everything, just want to make one last check. What I've done so far is: Cope and Paste my C Drive onto external hardrive, Use the windows backup tool to make a backup onto the external hardrive, and used Macrium Reflect to make an image now saved on the external hardrive. Now I'm gonna restart my computer, go into the BIOS, and find a way to delete the raid. Then go and remove 1 of the SSDs from my computer. Then reboot my computer from the external hardrive (still a bit confused on this part (i.e. if I'll need a specific folder with just the OS, or how'll the computer will be able to find my Windows 10 to boot from - I'm a noob I know)), and transfer my C Drive / Backup / Image from the external hard drive, back onto the now 2 SSDs. Then restart my computer again, go into the BIOS, and tell it to boot from the SSDs, and go on with my day and my new SSD. Is this all right, or am I missing a step / completely wrong? Again thank you for all your help!

I'm sorry for this dumb question, but is booting off a new drive as symbol as making up backup onto an external hard drive (or just copy and pasting my entire C: Drive), then going into the bios and telling it to boot of that drive? Or will I have to make a drive just with windows on it? Again I apologize for being so new and bad at this stuff

Can you go more into depth about "putting the data back in a way you can still boot off it" (or link me to an article / video that talks about it). One of my concerns is that after re-configuring, and reloading the data and all that, I won't have Windows 10 anymore (maybe this is just me being stupid and new to all this), and I'll have to re-buy it since Windows came pre-installed on my laptop and I don't have a product key or anything.

I currently have an MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro gaming laptop. I'm finally upgrading and building my own my own gaming computer. I was wondering if it's possible to move one of the SSDs from my laptop to my new desktop? Currently my laptop has 3 SSDs running in Raid 0. I don't know much about the technical side of things, so I was just curious if it was possible to move all my data from the 3 SSDs to 2, and then safely remove the third one without losing any data? (Side note: I currently have all the data from the SSDs backed up to a portable hard drive.) Any help or advice would be very appreciated, thank you!
