My computer gets to the point of trying to load windows 7 pro x64 and neither the keyboard or mouse work. Both work in the bios pages with no problems. My bios version is 3.20. I'm also concerned that the drivers for the hard drives aren't being reliable. I've gotten into start up repair, but couldn't give any input to advance further. At that point my only option was to turn off the computer and try again. I have also tried booting from DVD, but with the same problem. I tried to boot from USB, but couldn't find the option in bios. Any help would be really appreciated. Gus

GForsman, you did not say what MB you have and we cannot help you with so little information. Ryzen, in general, does not play well with W7 and X399 does not play AT ALL with W7. Enjoy, John.

Thanks for the responses. I have a 370 MB so that's a little relief. The build uses a Ryzen 7 and 16 GB of ram. I made the Win 7 boot usb and THEN went looking for the bios option to boot from there, OOPS. I'm not sure what all those pages were, but I'll check them out. I'm sorry, but I'll almost need a walkthrough co update anything in bios. That was never needed in previous builds, very few and long ago. So, please bear with me. Gus |

GForsman, W7 has no USB drivers, so no USB mouse/KB but USB install media is OK. When booting, hit F11 to get the boot menu. You should see your install USB here. I suspect your MB download page has Patcher which I think will get your mouse/KB going. Good luck and enjoy, John.

I have been running Windows 7 on an X370 Killer SLI board since last May. However, I prefer a PS/2 keyboard and trackball. I installed from my install DVD, and had just about no problem. It did take quite a few hours to get all of the updates to Windows 7 installed. I believe Windows 7 with SP1 has USB 2 drivers, but definitely not USB 3.

After all these problems, the problem seems to be : windows doesn't want to load with my external drives connected. They are connected to a usb3 hub. I haven't tried just plugging one into a port, to see if it is the drives or the hub, yet. I did try the front usb2 and usb3 ports. I can boot with them disconnected and then plug them in with no problems and they work. That is a pain and takes several minutes while windows is trying to update the drivers. If anyone knows any solution to this, I would appreciate it. Thanks Gus |

" rel="nofollow - GForsman, now I am completely lost. Please post all your specifications in your signature as I have. Include BIOS/UEFI and OS. Is this a new problem or what was going on all the time? This is why we need to see everything that is part of your system. Enjoy, John.

I believe this was 2 different problems. I already had windows installed on an ssd and as soon as I made sure with minimal connections that the system booted, I connected everything else. The first time, I had the monitor only connected and it seemed to boot to windows. Things weren't right, the display settings were screwed up. I also had to close the case. I put things back together and connected all the cables, usb, network, etc. When I turned it on again, I got Window's changed hardware and missing thing needed error. When I tried to do as it said ( run start up repair), I ran into the second problem ( no keyboard or Mouse). With the screwed up display and the error message, I thought I should install Windows fresh, leading to the forum post. The only NEW hardware is the CPU, Motherboard, Power Supply, and Memory. Everything else has worked with Windows 7 for years. Before the upgrade, the system booted with everything connected as I tried when I booted up the first time. That's why I'm confused by the current problem. Gus ------------- 370 Taichi MB, Ryzen 7 1700 CPU, Stock cooler, 16 gb memory,gtx 760 Graphics, 850w PS, Win 7 pro x64, bios 3.30 |

" rel="nofollow - So, GForsman, you are currently trying to install W7 and have the USB mouse/KB problems? W7 does not have USB drivers for your mouse/KB. You can try the W7 patcher for your board, get a PS-2 mouse/KB or install W10. What do you want to do? Enjoy, John. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |

Actually, Windows 7 works fine with both usb2 and usb3. I'm using it now. It's just on boot-up withe the new Mother board that I'm having any issues. I had all the same devices on my old motherboard and it worked just fine.

You may be right about installing it in the beginning but, it was already installed on my drive. I AM going to look into Win 10 though to see if it can be set up to look and work like I'm used to.

win 10 is an easy system to migrate to (and trust me i hate change ! ) also to note the win7 coa will work for win 10 as long as its the same version eg 32/64 bit and the same level eg win7 pro allows win 10 pro then use the create media website from windows to make the bootable usb stick for installation ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
