Hello.

I have a Gryphon Z97 (with a 4790K on it) and whenever I start it up, the keyboard is only detected on the front USB ports (the one from the case I connect to the appropriate header).
The external sound card connected to the USB 2.0 port on the rear is lighting up, but the keyboard does not.

And the boot logo (Ultimate Force and that) just stays where it is. When I happen to get back into the BIOS, what settings should I look out for or what settings do you need to know to further my quest and not buying a Mac?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I did load Optimized Defaults once I could get into it. Didn't help.

Maybe the motherboard is just kaputt, understandable after 20 months of irregular usage.

Luckily I still have some 2009 MBP lying around to not smash to bits.
