Z170 Extreme7+ Problems

   It's a USB mouse but a PS2 keyboard.  Even if your theory is correct, at least the keyboard should work then.  And that's really all I need to work on the bios.
But also, there are USB 2.0 ports on the back panel which I am using with the mouse.  Hopefully, that wouldn't be a problem with the 2.0 ports, right?

	USB mouse and KB? With Win7 on the 170 boards you need to use the USB Patcher from your boards download page to patch Win7 install media to enable USB 3.0. Either you have them plugged into a USB 3.0 port(s) now, w/o the 3.0 driver,, or you need to install the USB 3.0 driver on the d/l page that Win7 does not have for the 170 boards. Post back the outcome.

	I just purchased a Z170 Extreme7+ and am trying to get it to work. I've installed the CPU, 32Gb of memory an SSD drive in an Antec case. I've attached a known working usb mouse and known working ps2 keyboard. I've connected a monitor through a DVI-D cable. When I first fired up the board it would show the screen to get into the bios which suggests pressing the f2 or del key. But that didn't work for me because the keyboard and mouse never worked. I could press f2 or del all I wanted and nothing would happen. Then it would go and try to launch the OS (Win7) but found new hardware and suggested a repair. Of course I couldn't click on the repair button because the mouse and keyboard didn't work. Then I would restart it and the same thing would happen. Then, after a couple of times restarting it it wouldn't even show anything on the monitor while the keyboard and mouse have never worked on it. So, here I am, wondering what to do next. Any ideas?
