Hi there, as the title describes USB devices are no longer working when trying to boot into windows, the num lock light on the keyboard switches off just as the win 8 log in screen appears.
It is a self built system, specs are:
I7 4440k
16gb (2x8) Ram
120gb (OS) SSD
1tb storage Hdd
Gtx 770
Gigabyte z87-d3hp motherboard
Xfx 650w psu.
Windows 8 OEM upgraded to 8.1 through the App Store.
I have not been doing anything unusual that might have provoked this malfunction, it just happened when I got home from work :S
Troubleshooting steps:
Plugging USB devices into different ports on the case and the mobo. I was able to determine that power is coming through the USB as chargers work even on the win 8 log in page.
Setting legacy devices in bios to enabled and disabled didn't do anything.
System restore in windows didn't work, it claimed to be unable to access a file after completing the restore *rolls eyes*.
Tried system refresh but apparently my oem Cd is not the correct installation media...
Tried booting into safe mode using cmd prompt, hasn't changed anything.
I just cannot understand how this could have occurred, I have changed literally nothing! I cannot change anything in windows as I cannot input commands...
