Hey again everyone. I asked a few weeks ago about an issue I was having building a new computer. Turns out it was a motherboard issue like some of you suggested, so I have a nice new one installed.

Unfortunately there is a new problem. I bought a Gigabyte K8 Triton nForce 4 Motherboard, and I was installing Windows and such last night. After a bit of difficulty (since it was screwing itself by trying to use RAID even though I just have one SATA drive in there), it finally worked. I did all the Windows updates, installed Norton, Microsoft Office, etc. Wel, towards the end of all of that, the keyboard stopped working (PS2). I didn't have a USB one where I was, so my friend and I thought it might have a setting in the BIOS taht he might have flipped while trying something. thought nothing of it and took it home, confident that the USB keyboard I planned on using would work fine.

Wrong. Neither USB or PS2 keyboards are working, nor are any USB mice. This is including ports on the case, the on-board ones, and the motherboard expansion USB slots as well. They work in BIOS, just fine. The only settings I can find in BIOS that are related to this are "USB Keyboards" and USB Mice" which I made sure were both enabled. I even tried disabling them and going back tot eh PS2 one, nothing.

Any idea why this would happen suddenly, and what I can do to fix it? Thank you so much in advance!
