They were working fine before this. Tried using a different keyboard and mouse to no avail. Have tried unplugging the ac cord and holding down the power button for a minute and then restarting but nothing.

Any ideas of how to fix? Help appreciated

>pic related is the flash drives and mouse/keyboard in their respective usb ports

Also every time I turn off or try to reset the pc, the bios loads back up and the cursor is in the same place each time

>pic related inb4 shitty Temps and all that

Windows 7? You need to slipstream USB 3.0 drivers into your windows ISO

Windows 10. You can bypass the iso stuff by using their installation shit (dunno what it's called) for installing with a flash drive

What's the motherboard?

If you had mouse control in bios before but not now, then you could pop out the CMOS battery to restore it to default settings and that would at least fix that issue

>op here

Should have stated this originally but it's an msi motherboard and I'm installing windows 10. If any other specs are needed to help more accurately I can post em.

Also it's not an issue with installing or anything like that. Just my mouse and keyboard won't connect or something like that. So I can't do anything in the bios.

>buying a Windows disc

Haven't tried this yet will give it a shot. Thanks a ton

Connect keyboard and mouse to USB 2.0 ports if it has any

It completely slipped my mind when I was buying it. First time buying and building though so I'm allowed a few fuck ups right?

I've made sure they are specifically connected to usb 2.0 so that's not the issue but thanks

What's the chipset? I assumed it was z170

970+sb950

Granted they aren't that expensive but it's not really a big deal to skip it since almost everything is downloadable these days. Not really a big enough deal to warrant your sense of superiority

>doesn't

gtfo

you're a fucking retard for not getting one
why gimp your self
if you had one you wouldn't be having this problem
also
windows 10?
you should go return that now
and who the fuck buys windows
like what are you doing

I would return all your shit of parts
get the 300 you spend and buy and xbox

use your phone for Sup Forums and porn

and scratch any hope of have an iq over 75

Remove battery from motherboard for like 30 seconds. It should flash BIOS considering it's not a super old MB.

wrong board

11 year old in Africa can do this

>not really a big deal
>skip it
>everything is downloadable


Sounds like you're having no problems then.

/thread

I'm not OP

what fucking idiot doesn't get an optical drive

literally what are you going to do if you don't have Internet

and yes everything is downloadable
but everything can also be put on a fucking DVD or Blu-ray

go out to the store and buy one

Post mobo model#

unplug everything, mouse, keyboard, drives, everything. boot pc. does it go back to bios? then plug in mouse and see if you can move it.

you could take the optical drive out of whatever computer you used to move the cds over to flash drive and put it in your new build long enough to install the drivers and windows.
thats what i would do. hell even if it's from a laptop that's what i would do. course i tear apart laptops for fun in my spare time

op is 8-9 years old, his parents thought giving their over weight child a hobby would be good.

but like every parent they didn't trust his outrageous build so they told him to make it cheaper

he decided not to get a cd drive

he can't tell his parents the build isn't gone well because not only did they threaten to take away his mountain dew but they also said they would return his parts and buy him a mac

Did you get your stuff working in bios yet?

i guess kid could just go with ubuntu, be a good learning experience. plus it's free you just gotta learn what the fuck you're doing personally never had the patience for it

>get through installation and it has the driver error (no drivers found to install with)

you probably just didn't finish the install, the OS should still come up even without drivers

also anything after windows 7 should have enough drivers to get your connected to the internet

I have been using Ubuntu but does to monitor issues and stability issues I'm switching to Win10

I'm ready for you Linux butt lovers, there's no driver support for it

you should try Sup Forums

>this entire spiel
a-user-kun... how? how did you do this?
in all seriousness I don't even know where to begin. Not really enough info to tell, but my advice is just redo the install. It can't hurt, and chances are you just fucked something up and reinstalling will fix it. Any further problems are gonna be a driver issue.

I have one in mine personally, but it slows down the boot time by at least 5-7 seconds when it seeks, so i leave the power cable unplugged and i just connect it if i need it

Wait... what type of hard drive are you using?

like i said, never had the patience for it.
allright i say if you can get ahold of a disc drive from almost anything you should be able to mount it in the chassis even just temporarily to install from the disc, cause what i feel like happened is that for some reason (DRM) not everything copied over to the flash drive

No brah, this has to do with your HDD. Is it a PCIe SSD?

you have to delete system 32

Kek

Wow I took your advice and my computer boots up so fast now!!

lol what? calling an HDD a SSD?

since everyone else is trolling....
reset cmos. sometimes youll have a button for it on your mobo, if not take the button battery out for 10 sec and replace then reboot.

and jesus fucking christ user never pay more than $30 for windows. legit manufacturer keys are cheap. kinguin.net.

Is that site actually legit? Other sites sell windows 10 OEMs like $10 below the home version. How do they have it so cheap?

Just referring to the Solid state drive as a Hard Drive.

To me OP can't access bios because the hard drive detection is getting stuck,

Same with the windows installation, that driver not found error is because there's no hard drive to install windows (thinks there some type of scsi or unknown raid configuration).

Then I'd also do this:

OP said the USB wasn't working in bios not that it couldn't be accessed.

I think he can't even access bios:

>go to install again and am in bios
>keyboard and mouse aren't connecting
>stuck in bios unable to move

He needs to carefully disconnect that SSD from the PCIe slot (if that's the case) then try to access bios again. If the keyboard and mouse move, then we know where the error is.

>op here

Thanks for all of the tips and help Sup Forumsros. I was able to get out of the bios and into installation again after messing with the cmos battery and jumper.

To those saying "Sup Forums pls go" that board is too slow to expect any helpful replies any time soon so I came here.

>tl:Dr back in business

Thanks a ton and happy holidays Sup Forums

No prob merry Christmas

you dont even need to buy win 10

download the install from microsoft website, install with the file.

after trying to activate it u will get an error click on it till u see tech support option from windows (u can even get live help via chat) tell them u had the free install but wanted to do a fresh install and it didnt give u a code, they will give u shit but then activate it

sorry a little drunk so words are not fluid, said install alot when i ment more specific things but cant remember well, egg nog is strong

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

I think downloading the install from Microsoft requires a product key now
