No power from my USB's

Hello, after many hours trying to find a solution I have decided to make my own thread with my specific problem!

I have been recently upgrading my PC a bit (new SSD Boot and Win7). I was updating my Win7 and with that said restarting my computer a whole lot.

Last night I restarted it to let my updates install and when it booted back up my keyboard and mouse were not working. This is my problem.

I have tried every usb slot on my PC to see if it would work, but alas it does not. My keyboard and mouse don't even flicker when the PC starts which leads me to believe they are receiving no power. Like I said this is a very recent problem, both worked fine but after the reboot none of my ports work. I have read that the most likely cause of this is that my MOBO is cooked, but my computer starts up just fine(brings me to Win7 log in), I just cant do anything without the mouse and keyboard.

Some background information:
-MOBO = p5q pro turbo
-Have been restarting my pc a lot because Im having a lot of problems with windows update(updates fail to install dont know if thats relevant)
-Have Win7 on SSD boot with 500GB HDD slave

Sorry for the lengthy post, Im just frustrated and cant find a solution, although I think it is my MOBO(cant really afford to go get a new one right now) but I really hope I can find a fix.

Expect a quick response from me!
Thanks so much and happy holidays!

Regards, ND

also try clearing your cmos by removing the power cord then remove the battery on the motherboard, press the power button multiple times to discharge it, after 5 minutes put the battery back in then plug the power cord back in



Yes it does have a ps2 port and luckily I have an old IBM ps2 keyboard. I just plugged it in and now I can access the BIOS. Now once I am in the BIOS I checked if my USB's have been enabled and they are. I also noticed something that gives me some hope that my MOBO isnt toast! Once I get to the BIOS my USB mouse and keyboard bot work and receive power, I can even use the arrows on my USB keyboard to move through the BIOS options. what can this mean?? Could it be that I am missing a driver or something for my USB's that I might have removed when restarting my computer during my windows update problems?

If there is anything you would recommend as a next step or anything that you might think is causing my problem let me know! (Btw I have not yet tried clearing my cmos as you suggested, because of all this excitement with the ps2 keyboard.

Thanks so much for your help, these are the first positive results im seeing since they stopped working. Ill be here waiting for a response :love:

Just another thing before I clear my cmos, it seems that my keyboard/mouse lose power as soon as the operating system is booting. Like as soon as I F10 and leave the Bios and it gives me the usual windows is starting, I immediately lose power to USB peripherals!

Thought this might help.

sometimes motherboards have these weird issues, you may have to get a ps2 to usb adapter and use your usb keyboard that way. try that clearing cmos thing. i would recommend flashing your bios, that might help with the issues if you still have any. ps2 always works, i still keep my old ps2 around for this exact problem haha

Will clear my cmos now doing what you told me. A ps2 to usb connector is not an ideal fix but would def allow me to use my mouse and keyboard during these hectic times!

Thanks again Van ^_^

your welcome. care to give me a best answer? haha. do your usb peripherals work in windows?


I will most definitely give you best answer, I just don't want this thread to seem solved before it is, not outta the woods yet!
And no none of my usb anything works once my windows starts booting. I have power to the USB keyboard and mouse up until windows begins loading, then bam! I lose power to them.
