Ultra Durable™ was presented as a big deal

It's for goofs. An electrolyte is a still an electrolyte, trust me. I worked with 'em long before you were (probably) born.

They made good caps in the end of 70s, early 1980s, which can still be alive. As for your board, I can easily predict they all have high ripples now,

it won't be stable when overclocked, etc. So the USB may simply "fell" off, or you killed them with static.

The new ones practically never lose capacity.

The capacitance doesn't matter anymore when they have high ripples. They become resistors over time.

They don't work in Windows and can't be used to boot the computer in BIOS.

Did you attempt to update the BIOS from a flash drive from the still working ports?

I's suggest to try ALL versions of BIOS. Get back to us, then.
