So I recently fixed my computer after it broke. I'm not entirely sure what I did to fix it but whatever. Whenever I start my computer, my mouse and keyboard will work upon startup and all that, I can enter my BIOS just fine, all of the USB ports are enabled. Then when windows starts, neither my mouse, nor my keyboard work at all. I've tried using a PS2 adapter on both of them but still no luck whatsoever. I need them in order to install windows. What do I do?
Specs:
Mouse and keyboard: Gigabyte K5300
Motherboard: ASUS M5a99FX PRO 2.0
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x4 gb RAM

it should work in bios to let you change usb to legacy mode. Once installed change back

Legacy mode is already enabled.

It should work. Try resetting cmos, rather than load safe defaults.

What did you do to fix your 'broke' computer?

I literally do not know. I tried a lot of things and I'm not sure which thing fixed it.

it has to be bios or mobo, what are the odds of two defective USB components, not impossible though.
Did you try full cmos reset, the only thing would be OS itself.
In which case if full reset don't change anything, do a system restore to an earlier point when they were working.
Or if not possible then try clean install, ie format drive under advanced options. Assuming you have everything backed up and your current attempt to install windows is not an upgrade.

Well at this point I might be screwed, because after resetting the cmos, my CPU LED now comes on and stays on, and my computer doesn't even work. Oh well, a few thousand dollars down the drain. Good thing money grows on trees right?
