#ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 RED CPU LED PC#

The thing I don't understand is that my razor mouse and headset usually light up as soon as I start the pc but they don't now even though they are connected to the motherboard USB slots not the gpu.

I have a air duster coming tomorrow morning to clean the pc just incase it was dust causing the problem. I have tried the VGA cables elsewhere and they work, the monitor is also fine. I have switched positions of the graphics card to the white slot from the blue slot in the picture on the motherboard. I have switched it on and off many times each time checking that all wires are properly connected and that the gpu is getting power from the psu. When I turn it on the motherboard has a red light labelled 'VGA LED' so I'm thinking there's a problem with the graphics card but I want to be sure before I spend money on another one. It has overheated and the screen froze a few times in the past months but it hasn't happened recently and I don't think that's the problem. So I've had my computer for about two years and it's been running very smoothly even on high quality games but one morning it would turn on (fans turning and all) but there would be no screen display. Final step is to take it to a shop for troubleshooting. Try different video cable and video inputs on monitor. Power supply : Corsair - CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Turn monitor power on and then hit the power button, give the mobo 5-7 minutes, you should notice gpu and cpu fans spinning up if not try a different psu.
