1 x ($44.99) MEM 2Gx2|ADATA AX3U1600GB2G9-2G R $44.99

I can get windows 7 to load, but I have to go into bios and disable the usb controller in the integrated devices. As long as I do that the computer will load into windows just fine. Any recomendations would be great before I rma this board back.

Hello Valtaka;

With the USB disabled I guess that means your keyboard and mouse are also disabled? Not good.

It looks like quite a few others are having the same issue. From the NewEgg customer comments on this motherboard.

-> So before going through the RMA process and paying to have the board sent back go ahead and do what the MSI rep says.
Contact them and see what they're doing about it. And also post your thought on NewEgg too.

I'm hoping they're going to send you a new board without having to send that one back first and maybe they'll pay for shipping both ways too.

Ya it just seems weird, I got windows to load just fine with the controllers disabled, beautiful computer then, but doing all of this with just a ps/2 keyboard was interesting. The tech said rma it but have also read that many people keep getting the same one back bad so i am a bit nervous.

It must be MSI specific.
I didnt see any of the same issue with the two other 890 boards I took a quick peek at.

Alright then since I am sure that I am sol with this board, would you guys suggest trying another or should I look at another board since the tech isn't much help. If you were going to get a new/different board which would it be. And if anyone's bored a quick critique other my build would be appreciated. Planning on getting a ssd down the way.

ASRock 870 EXTREME3 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 has been getting a lot of recommendations lately.
Partly for it's price but also since it does CFX @ x8/x8 and its feature set.
