Hello all,

 

So I recently got an MSI RX 6600 XT and a 760 watt PSU for my build. I realized that my current rig was bot compatible due to the motherboard and the PSU in that (it was meant for servers). So I switched to my first rig with a normal motherboard and just swapped out the hardware. Everything is pulled in and working...except the USB ports.

 

I can't set up the computer without my keyboard, which is USB. I have tried every USB port on my computer and not a single one worked. Any suggestions/fixes? I've attached 2 pics of where I think the problem may be at.

How old is this motherboard? It appears to have SATA II and CD Audio, both of which haven't really been a thing in quite a while. Try upgrading your Chipset and other drivers from the Motherboard manufacturer's website, if they have any even available for Windows 8 or newer.

I'm not sure how old the motherboard is. It works fine when I plug in my USB mouse. Keyboards just dont seem to work. I'm gonna try to find a serial input keyboard

Check if there are some missing drivers - Win+X » Device Manager - is there any exclamation/question marks?

Can I do this on another device? Cause my computer wont recognize that ths keyboard is plugged in. It doesnt recognize any keyboard I plug in.

Sry, stupid me. If you have Windows 10 - right click on Start menu and then select Device Manager

No like I'm stuck on this. I cant enter setup without a working keyboard and my computer sees that my mouse is plugged in, but not a single keyboard will register.

Have you tried a PS/2 keyboard?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

What's that? And no probably not.

If this board has CD audio and SATA II, I guarantee it has PS/2 ports.
