Yesterday, I built this mammoth. Everything began well — good temps, loaded to BIOS first try, BIOS recognized all my peripherals fine. Oddly, when I began windows 7 install I got the "No device drivers were found." My buddy and I tried literally everything to get passed this, but for some reason the install just would.freaking.not see my USB with the ISO on it. Eventually, we resorted to putting my SSD in his computer, installing windows on it, and putting it back into my computer (we also put USB and ethernet support drivers from ASUS's website on my desktop from his computer so I could easily DL them once it was back into my rig).
This was a quick fix, but the problem still persisted. I got the ethernet driver enabled, which was good. But as I tried to install the USB drivers, I lost control of USB and keyboard functionality. Now, my keyboard and mouse work fine in BIOS, but as soon as Windows 7 begins, you can see their lights power off.
I have tried every variation of turning on/off Legacy USB, XCHI, and manually disabling/enabling USB ports. I've tried multiple keyboards and multiple mice. I've tried safe mode (can't click anything in that).
I really have no idea what to do. I'm about to buy an optical disk and try installing my drivers through my Mobo DVD and after that I'm thinking about wiping everything and just starting with Windows 10 cause I have a hunch z170 boards and Win7 just hate each other.
Please someone help me so I can get my baby up and running!!
