I suspect this is the cause of your issues.

Seriously. Some scratched capacitors could be the issue?

Take it back to umart and say its fucked, wont even update the bios, and request a changeover on the spot (call before getting there). You are protected against Australian consumer law. Don't mention the caps.

I just called them right now and they said they'll have to run diagnostics and tests before they would even think of replacing it.

Windows 10 sucks. I refuse to use it on my desktop. I hate almost every aspect of it. People who gloat about DX12 are clueless.

 

You want a stable, reliable OS, go with Windows 7.

I am literally on Windows 7 right now and have all of my USB 3.0 ports working.

I came in and asked for a replacement and he couldn't replace the board due to those scratched capacitors. So he gave me a reference number and said he would sent it to Asus for repares. If I wasn't an idiot at putting a CPU cooler in I wouldn't be in this mess.

If you scratched any traces or knocked an smt cap off, yes.
