Last week my Hdd died, I tried spares but they were to no use, I decided to buy a new 2tb wd black for games and Samsung 120gb evo for the os, the installation went smoothly so after I decided to install my motherboards(msi z97 gaming 5) drivers on the cd it came with, after installing the basic ones it asked me to reboot, I pressed the reset button on my case as my task bar was nowhere to be seen, afterwards it rebooted, could access the bios, but when windows starts and gives me the login my keyboard turns off and my mouse is unresponsive. The reason I mention the bios is because it sometimes, when I reboot the keyboard would go off during the bios loading, I have a temp fix for that which is tricking the PC into thinking there's a hardware change by disconnecting a sata cable, that usually turns it back on, and yes I tried it with the os issue and no change, it's really odd and I don't know what to do, please help

 

ps the os is windows 7 pro 64 bit

Thanx for the quick response but it doesn't help me too much, I've installed windows, I used my code, everything was fine, i logged into my os, got my msi drivers disk as I couldn't access the Internet till I'd installed the lan driver, it all went smoothly, after finishing all my driver that I thought were necessary, ie not chrome, toolbar, nortan etc,after rebooting I then couldn't access windows due to my keyboard and mouse turning themselves off, I could access safe mode but it wouldn't let me use the disk, saying that I didn't have admin permissions

Kinda managed to get around it, found an old keyboard that uses the round port end, it would seem that my usbs don't work, can't use the mouse unfortunately so accessing the msi drivers application with keyboard shortcuts is impossible. I can however access the files and setups with though I can't see anything related to usb 2.0, but I can find plenty of usb 3.0 files, but when I try installing some of them they require other bits so I've stopped for someone else to butt in before I brake something
