The fact that all the USB ports stops working shows that your PC has been tampered with, either its being disabled or blocked by software installation.
Some PC manufacturer allows you to disable your USB ports to block intruders to your system.
You need to check if the USB ports are not disabled from the BIOS setup DO NOT CHANGE ANY OPTION YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
- TO DO THIS:
- power on the desktop,
- continuously press the F12 to take you to the BIOS setup (for Gateway PCs, F12 should take you to the BIOS setup except you have a older BIOS which you have to try F2),
- carefully check the section for Input and Output devices to make sure that the USB ports are not disabled and enable them if needed,
- be careful not to change any option you don't understand,
- exit the BIOS setup and save changes if you make changes OR exit the BIOS setup without saving changes if you did not make any changes.

Use this trick. Make a bootable flash drive. Try to see if you can get the PC to start running windows installation from the flashdrive. You should be able to see the drive from the bootable options. If you do not see this, then this is not a software issue; hardware level. You need to open your PC and see what is going on inside.
Good luck!
