Hi,
Not sure if I posted this in the correct area, but since my problem is software, I stuck it here. (BTW this is going to be a long story. I believe i need to fill you all in on the story.)
I was given a pc from a friend to keep as a gift. It was used as a server, but using PC components. (Non-ecc ram ect). It was LGA 1156 and had an i5 which was way better than my PC which was an i3 and LGA 755. I took out my mobo and put the new one in only to encounter a barrage of problems. First it would turn on as soon as i switched the PSU on, but it would not post nor display video. A CMOS battery reset fixed it. Then it would not play nice with 2 DIMMS of RAM but only 1. So I tried enableding XMP profile in the BIOS when it died. It tried to turn on again but died a split second afterward. Pressing the power button would make it turn on then die.
I put my old mobo back in with no problems and it booted straight to windows. Now my wireless mouse was in the front USB ports but i moved it two the back ones as I was not sure how to connect the headers to the motherboard. Windows loaded and my mouse was extreamly laggy. I would move and it would stop and reappear seconds after. I rebooted and moved to another USB port.Now windows was saying the USB device malfunctioned. After that, it stopped working completly and the installing driver popup will not appear when i plug the reciever in. But does for other USB devices. I have tried every driver solution the internet has to offer with no avail. Stupid me has no restore point either. Only solution I can think of is to reinstall windows.
I would greatly appreciate any advice,
