Hi
My BIOS used to stay for more than three minutes with just the cursor in the top left before the BIOS logo appeared. Front USB 2.0-1 didn't work for me and front USB 2.0-2 used to fail. I used to boot with the 3 front USBs with USB drives attached. One day it occurred to me to boot without the USB disks connected and now only two or three seconds always pass from the cursor on the top left to the BIOS logo.
I have tried to run phoronix-test-suite and if I download it from https://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=downloads it asks me for my password to run sudo and I do not want to give the option to run with root permissions an application downloaded from the internet. I have downloaded it from AUR v10.8.4 and it freezes when downloading some tests or gives an error when running some tests.
$ phoronix-test-suite install pts/ai-benchmark

$What I want to run is an application that tells me which components are failing (in my case the two front USB 2.0 ports). Does anyone know what the best app is to check hardware?
Thanks in advance.

if your bios "hangs" (or rather: requires quite a long timeout) as it struggles to detect connected usb devices and it doesn't when those devices are not plugged in it hints towards the connected devices
you can't test if a port is bad with software - either a device works or it doesn't - it's a simple yes/no which can only be tested with hardware
a test suite usually requires root to gather information locked behind root access
