Unable to use USB on boot

[kmhatesawps]

I'm not sure this is the right place for this... it's a weird problem. I have an Ubuntu Desktop 18.x I've been mainly using as an FTP server. I decided to reboot today after updating a couple things and was unable to enter my password to decrypt my drive.

After some messing around I found my peripherals worked in the boot loader but after that no matter what I did they would go inactive. I tried using a live USB in failsafe mode.. I couldn't type into the terminal but when I was messing around with the USB cables I would get "Failed to enumerate USB device" and a bunch of error -32 and -71's. I found a couple things where people lost the ability to use a specific port, or a specific device, but I can't find anything where all the ports stop working. It's kind of hard to run diagnostics without any input.

Considering it's a problem across OS's I thought it could be the motherboard and will try swapping that out when I get a chance. The fact that everything works fine in BIOS makes me lean against motherboard issues so in case it is an OS problem I decided to post here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Might be useful to post what updates you did. Also, what specifically happened when you entered your password?

It was an apt-get update & upgrade, as well as Nessus upgrade. I usually upgrade the server about once a month or if I want to install something new. Nothing happens when I try to enter my password, the keyboard (which is backlit and normally bright) is dim like it's idling, as is my mouse. I can use them both in BIOS and grub but the moment I boot an OS they both go dark. There's power but no HID capability. The live usb I used was parrot os (all I had on hand at the time) but like I said, same thing happened in that case.
