Help needed - urgent

eldergeek

I got it into my head to reinstall windows 7 and roll back from 8.1 because.... Reasons. I have the z87-hd3 motherboard, and it isn't recognising my USB keyboard even after install. I'm positive I'm overlooking something in the bios, but it's 4am here right now, and I'm fried. Can anyone stick me on the right path to getting my peripheral hardware working again please?

Just done that now to double check - it's in a standard USB port (front panel), and nothing.

USB 3.0 needs drivers to work.

 

If it's a regular USB 2.0 port.

 

If it still doesn't work, check this guide:

That's no good unfortunately, as I'm not even in Windows yet - I'm just staring at the language options on the last part of the set up.

it should start to work properly once you install the drivers and start using the OS.

You will need a PS/2 keyboard

Have you tried one of the rear ones on the motherboard and not one on a USB header on the board?

Is there a chance that you got a USB to PS2 adapter lying about?

And yes, I second this. Try the MoBo I/O.

Why not? They are bug free and work better, you should have one around.

Did you shut the PC down and then try it again?

That sucks :(

 

Don't give up on windows 8.1 , it's an improvement over 7. Get a cheap ass PS/2 Keyboard tomorrow and fix the issue. Even one used and dirty should do.
