I'm working on my first build and having some issues with it, mostly due to my inexperience. I thought I could reuse my old optical drive but it's not SATA and won't connect to the new mb. I'd planned on loading Linux from a DVD but now I can't. As a work around, I was able to create a bootable USB drive using a borrowed computer.
When I start the new computer (no preexisting OS) with the bootable USB drive, it gives me a few choices. If I click <start Linux>, my mouse quits working but Linux starts up as expected. I'm concerned about doing an OEM install if I'm having this problem. The mouse works just fine in BIOS and the keyboard isn't having any problems. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?
CPU: AMD FX8350
MB: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5
16G DDR3
1TB WD hard drive
mouse:Logitech LX3 (wired but not USB)
bootable USB has Linux Mint 18
