Hi All

So my PC randomly stopped recognising any USB devices when I boot it up. Straight away you see American Megatrends, 0 keyboards, 0 Mice detected.
However if I press DEL before I get to this screen, I get into the BIOS. I've fiddled with some settings here but no use.

I initially thought it's a windows problem but after constantly resetting my pc, I was finally able to get my USB devices to work and reset my windows. Of course now windows is mid-installation and I can't get any of the USB ports working again.

I've updated the bios to the latest version but still, no luck.

I'm using ASUS R97 Pro Gamer.

To summarise

  1. I can get into the bios settings by pressing DEL, where my mouse and keyboard work
  2. I can't get any USB device to be recognised past this point - Hence I can't get into windows
  3. I've tried various different Mice/keyboards including wires and wireless ones, and no luck
  4. I'm using the standard USB ports in the motherboard

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you
