New motherboard with new drivers has conflicted with old drivers

[Zenith1102]

Hello, the other day I upgraded my motherboard to an Asus Z170 pro gaming motherboard and I then installed the drivers off the disk like the instructions said to. However I did not delete my old motherboards drivers as I thought it would overwrite them. I get the the Windows 10 start up screen where it requires my password but my mouse and keyboard do not respond and the RGB on them do not light up. I know it is not a problem with the monitor as I have tried multiple monitors and the keyboard and mouse work fine in the bios. I've tried launching in safe mode and the same result.. Thanks for any help in advance

When swapping motherboard, you should do Windows clean install after the swap just to avoid problems like this.

Is there anything I can do now?

Yes, you need to do the clean install. Just put the CD/DVD or USB with Win installer into your machine, go to bios and change boot order to either CD/DVD player or USB and let it do the work. Note that you are going to lose the data on your boot drive.

Is there no other way? I can't find a CD or USB with it on, the motherboard came with Windows 10 ready on it and my other copy I got a digital code. I have a disc with drivers for the MB on it which has a Windows 10 icon on it but I've tried usin that and it goes to the next hard drive to find Windows

It's a guide how to create Windows installer on USB or DVD. You will need another working comp for that.

Considering your keyboard and mouse work in BIOS but not in Windows, I don't think you can do anything else to fix the problem.

I have found a copy of Windows XP which I can use, will I then be able to get Windows 10 back using the disc??

Not sure you can make XP work on such modern motherboard.

You could always grab a good 'ole PS/2 keyboard. Those never fail to work. 🙂
Then use that to reset your computer - that ought to clear out the drivers.
