I just built a new PC, and I carried over the HDD from my old PC, including the OS. Whenever I boot up, my keyboard and mouse are working, but once the Windows 7 screen pops up, they shut off and I cannot do anything.
The motherboard I have is a MSI B150M Mortar, and as previously stated, I run Windows 7.
Neither my mouse or keyboard works in safe mode, and even if I try to boot from the Windows 7 disc to perform a reinstallation, the current installation shuts off my input devices once the Windows files load and I cannot navigate the menu to reinstall Windows from scratch.
I really do not want to go through the trouble to put my components back in my old system and work from there, so is there anything I can do from the BIOS that could fix this? If I were to install a completely different OS such as Linux (which I could download from another PC), could I work from there to uninstall Windows somehow, so that I could then perform a clean install? I really don't know my options here.
