USB ports not working

I recently had an hdd failure and ever since life has been a pain in the arse, after some time of trying to make with what I had I bought Samsung evo 850 and a wd 2tb black. Installed windows 7, alas something is working, however, as one door opens another slams in your face, I installed the drivers for my motherboard (msi z97 gaming 5) after it had finished it asked me to reboot, as the task bar had disappeared I  used the reset button on my case, the bios bit booted, I could access it as usual, but as soon as windows started loading my keyboard turned off and my mouse was unresponsive. I originally thought this was an os issue, until my mate told me to use a different keyboard, it had been nearly two weeks so I thought I'd give it a shot, I then had a eureka moment, I had an old ps2 cable keyboard (as opposed to a usb variant), plugged it in booted up and it works, I then realised it was a problem with the USB ports, logged in a proceeded to open up the msi cd app with keyboard shortcuts, only to have another door slam in my face as I couldn't operate the app with out a mouse, I could however access the individual files, this is where my knowledge and progress comes to a grinding halt as I have no idea what I'm looking for within these files pls help

 

ps I wrote about this yesterday in the os section as I thought that was the issue, sorry

Are there USB drivers for your motherboard? If so, uninstall them and let windows use the stock ones. Sometimes that helps until they release a better driver. 

 

Spoiler

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds like a corrupt driver install. You're still early in the process, if I were in your spot I would just nuke the Windows install and start over again.

I've been dreading thought for a while now, but I don't think Id need to uninstall the whole os, but I'll keep that in mind as a last resort
