Help - New mother board install now cannot boot into New Windows Install after installing MOBO Drivers

[jeguzik]

Ok, need some help here. I installed a new Gigbyte MOBO / I7 into my pc. Did a fresh installation of Windows 7 and booted a few times to complete the installation. Noticed my NIC was not working so I installed the driver files provided by Gigabyte. Now my PC is failing to boot into windows. The PC posts, however Now I cannot get into the BIOS to change any settings. It seems like my Keyboard inputs will not allow me to get into the bios or boot options. I hit the delete key, but nothing happens. It passes the BIOS test and then attempts to load windows and then shuts down. Confused, you help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

Does not sound like the driver did that, if keyboard does not work, that is another issue. Did you try a different keyboard or port?
Try doing a BIOS reset to defaults using the jumpers on the motherboard.

Did you make sure your power supply can run the upgrades? If you have a bad quality power supply, going to a higher wattage CPU can cause issues.

I believe I have a 700w Antec power supply. It was stable before I applied the MOBO drivers and then I have not been able to boot since. The upgrades completed and then the PC went to sleep. I could now wake it and had to reboot. Since that reboot, the PC will not come back up into windows.
