Good late eve fellow pc enthusiasts,
I was wondering if you would be so kind to impart your knowledge and help for me as i've found myself locked out of my own system.
My situation started when I had upgraded my video card from an Radeon HD7970 to an R9 290x and my system was telling me that it was a 280x which prompted me to get to this sorry state I find myself in. I thought the problem was that there were too many AMD Catalyst downloads still in my system from previous driver upgrades so I decided to delete all of the AMD drivers with the intention of downloading them again once I got back into windows.
What happened afterwards, I do not know why but when the Windows 7 login is reached, my interface peripherals shut off and no longer had Mouse or Keyboard function. I do have both working within the EZ Bios stage but when I go to Windows the function does not load and I am unable to do anything but reboot. Its as if the usbs shut off and refuses to acknowledge that the two are plugged in.
I attempted to do things in the Bios but nothing has seemed to work. So I am at a dead end. I most likely made it worse messing within the Bios.
Everything looks and feels normal accept at the Windows log in - whether safe mode or safe mode with connectivity. Same no keyboard and no mouse.
What are the steps I can take to regain access into Windows. What could I have done and how do I go about fixing it
AMD FX 8650 8 Core 4.3 ghz
AMD HD7970 (I took the R9 out)
GSkill Ripjaws 8gig Ram
Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit
ASUS Sabertooth 99FX R2.0
