Your technicians said the "big chip on the motherboard" may have a problem? No, I would agree your technicians are not so expert.
Go to downloads and find the current chipset drivers for your system, download and install them. See if that improves things.

GX270 Motherboard are known to have bad capacitors, which leaks after a while.
Have a look on your motherboard & see if you there is something brown like that:

The GX270 motherboard is also known to have no fuse at all to protect the usb ports. So the southbridge may be half working...But not the usb....
Just my two cents.
