Hi everyone, I recently built my very first pc and installed windows 7, after that i popped in the drivers disc from my msi motherboard and installed all the drivers,I then began doing windows updates. Once i completed all of the windows updates i download the latest drivers from the MSI website and my graphics driver. I started by installing the Killer Lan driver and rebooted, everything was going well... until i installed the usb 3.0 driver! I rebooted and my keyboard and mouse weren't working!! This only happened in the windows 7 login prompt, however it was working fine in the BIOS. I need some help to fix this problem, i tried plugging in another mouse and still nothing... I was thinking of re-installing drivers from a usb stick but i dont know how to go about doing that.. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!! Specs: CPU: Intel i5 4690k MOBO: MSI Z97 GAMING 5 RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4) GPU: MSI GTX 970 GAMING Cpu Cooler: Hyper 212x SSD: samsung 850 evo 250gb HDD: 2TB seagate Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro
THANKS IN ADVANCE ! (Sorry for poor writing, im typing this up in a hurry)
I've done this before sadly, sometimes the driver installation goes bad due to whatever issue and "brakes" whatever it was meant to fix/improve. If I recall I was able to roll back to before I installed the driver and redid it without the bad downloaded driver. I know it is time consuming but, worst case just reinstall windows. It sounds like you have a fresh build anyway. I recommend that if you are downloading any files of importance that you use a browser with a build in smart download manager like Chrome or Firefox has or you get a third party one.
Windows 7 install is a bit more lengthy than it used to be. I wouldn't install anything but the video, monitor, audio, mouse & keyboard drivers until windows is complete. If the driver on the website is old I wouldn't change what windows is fine with when it comes to usb and chipset. A lot of those dl's include software you can live without. As far as bios revisions, it's a good idea to read what they include. If you're not having any issue and there's no major revisions recommended... leave it.
