I just built my first gaming rig. I wasn't aware of this two days ago, but apparently Windows 10 is a buggy mess.
My problem seems to be fairly common, in that I cannot get past the Windows 10 login screen due to lack of response from keyboard and mouse. Another similar thread indicated that disabling Wi-Fi and restarting your tower solved the issue. I tried that solution and it did not do anything until the second reboot, whereupon I lost input from mouse and keyboard promptly upon seeing my desktop. I am confused and slightly upset that my first rig should be this problematic; is there something I am missing?
Specs/Hardware:
MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (Z170A Tomahawk AC)
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING Z 8G
Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz
HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4
WD Black 1TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive
Samsung 750 EVO - 120GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1, 80+ BRONZE 750W, Semi Modular PSU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler
I don't know if it matters, but my mouse is the a 2014 Razer Naga, and the keyboard is the Razer Overwatch Edition Blackwidow Chroma, and the monitor is an Asus MX25A 25" IPS display. Another side note: the motherboard is WiFi capable and was installed as such.
UPDATE:
Windows finally let me through after about 10+ hard restarts, however, it's not recognizing the 1 TB HDD that I have, and instead is only using the SSD as storage. I've checked connections, and it has power and a proper SATA connection, but 111 GB isn't much, especially when the games and other programs I built this rig for are definitely in excess of that. Any ideas?
UPDATE #2:
Sorry I keep re-opening this thread, but TH seems to be the only place I can find intelligent help.
After the last update, I reinsert ed my graphics card (which somehow solved the freezing issue?), formatted the disk, and after a bit of trial and error, uninstalled updates that I believed were causing the freezing issue. I had no problems for a week or so, during which Windows installed several updates, none of which gave me any noticeable issues. I was able to use the computer normally, although I admit I was apprehensive each time I powered off and on.
Finally, I needed to leave town for a weekend for work, so I powered down after installing an update. I got back, and now the problem I had before, no keyboard and mouse input and freezing.
I've tried to repair Windows, but I lose mouse/keyboard and the computer freezes at anywhere from the motherboard splash screen, to the Windows login, and even the boot menu and BIOS. It's frustrating, to the point I wish I hadn't ever built it.
