Hi Guys,
I recently put together a really cheap and yet massively powerful PC. I bought all parts from other sources.
Unfortunately my PC is not perfect, motherboard has two USB ports that do not work, two 3.0 USB ports and two 2.0 ports are displayed. There are also half a dozen 1.1 USB ports that actually exist and a few that don't. At first I thought of CPU, which might be crazy [there are actually wrong temperature values for two sensors], but my research did not reveal anything that explains this additional USB.
Could it be that the person who sold me the motherboard sold me a motherboard prepared with malicious hardware? It is conceivable that a kind of '' Bad USB '' can be integrated into a USB socket. There is enough space in it.
Has anyone dealt with something like this, or does someone know their stuff? Am I worrying too much?
Thanks in advance!
