Hello, I need help fast. My PC wont recognize any ports, USB, or PS2, and on top of that, I'm stuck in a bootloop. I have windows 7 32bit with an MSI A55M-P33 mobo. HELP!
 
Solution
Ok, so the installation was not made using the equipment in the new machine, but the old?

This is starting to sound suspicious. 😛 While it's possible in some cases you may get away with that, you won't in all of them.

Is there a USB thumb drive you could use for installing your Windows on the new machine with the hard drive installed, or possible an optical drive you could install for the purposes of the installation?

If you have a USB thumb drive of sufficient capacity, you can use a utility such as Win-to-Flash to copy a Windows installation from your Windows disc to your flash drive, so you can attempt installation without an optical drive. This is often how you have to reinstall Windows on Netbooks that don't have an optical...
That answer was NO HELP for me .. But I found a answer , and for anybody that might need it in the future


BTW I found the answer for anybody needing it!

(Windows 7)

Go to Computer Management

Click on Device Manager

Click USB Controllers

Unistall ALL the Drivers &&
Restart your computer. Once you reboot the system would reinstall all the drivers back for you ! . You might have to do this every time you reboot but it works for now!
 


 
I am still having problems getting access to CMOS. I've been through the CMOS battery routine to no avail. System is now stripped down to conventional keyboard, USB mouse, CD/DVD on PATA, Video module.. Everything was fine until I changed one of the BIOS settings from IDE to try to bring mix of PATA & SATA devices on-line. The change leaves the boot sequence stalled about 1/2 way through, with JMICRO telling us "please Wait" looking for devices. CMOS boot responds to Cntrl/Alt/Del by restarting , but seems not to recognise any other keyboard commands (including the all-important DELETE key used by Gigabyte to access CMOS editing)
 
Just wanted to thank you guys. Got the same problem and was in despair because nothing was working, not even a beep. Even removing the cmos battery did nothing! Out of despair i tried the cmos reset and surprisingly this worked.
Thanks to everyone in this forum (and google)!
