Windows not working

[Ericchristt]

Hey guys im having some trouble. I just built my computer a couple of days ago and just reset all my settings to default to overclock my cpu with no errors. I then tried to enter windows and was told i needed to do a system restore so i pressed on system restore but as soon as that loaded my mouse and keyboard stopped working. I tried this with another mouse and keyboard and it didnt work. My comp is asus z97a 8gigs of ram i5 4690k and i have an ssd and a hard drive. How can i keep all my data and fix windows. When i tried to use safe mode i didnt have boot manager installed so i couldnt do a system restore from there. Help.

repair with a windows disk/iso ?

so it boots to windows logon screen but you can't use mouse or keyboard?

Try plugging them into usb 2.0 ports not 3.0

 

worst case If you have a spare drive you can clone your ssd to that (booting off CD)

then reinstall windows on the ssd and copy any data that you need back over

No it doesnt boot to windows it says there is an error when its loading up

I have an empty hard drive could i put windows on that and then copy ssd data after

yup that would work too and then a fresh install on the ssd again after that

 

also when you install windows only have one ssd or hdd installed

I had the boot manager missing issue, for some reason windows can out boot manager on the second drive

 

If you repair with a disk/iso, you shouldn't lose data but when I had this problem it didn't fix it for me, definitely worth a try though

 

EDIT: that could be your issue, make sure your second drive is plugged in properly at the moment and try booting, windows just might not be finding boot manager
