It’s not possible to do this. The connections to the motherboard via USB are problematic due to their small size, and you likely haven’t been the only one to encounter this issue – I have built many PCs and occasionally make mistakes at this point. Please review the board and its documentation carefully.
Is it true that you connected your computer’s graphics card with a peripheral device? Are you attempting to deceive us? I cannot personally observe the situation, so I must depend on your explanation. It seems highly improbable that you inserted your keyboard and mouse directly into your graphics processing unit.
After assembling your computer, you’re likely wondering about the optimal Windows version. You’ve recently rebuilt your PC. Did you change the motherboard? Did you reinstall Windows? Generally, a Windows reinstallation is recommended after a motherboard change. In your situation, you probably need to install USB drivers. Install chipset drivers first. You’ll require a PS/2 keyboard and mouse until the USB drivers are installed.
The issue is a driver conflict. The system’s BIOS includes a built-in function, but it disables itself when control transfers to the operating system.
Connect the devices to the uppermost USB ports on your computer's rear panel.
If that doesn’t resolve the problem, attempt to enable USB legacy support within the BIOS settings – this may be labeled as USB 2.0, USB 1.1, or USB 1.0.
Alternatively, you may need a standard keyboard and mouse to access Windows and load your motherboard's chipset drivers (first), followed by the GPU, USB, LAN, and audio drivers. Then, proceed with installing additional drivers as needed – perhaps for the keyboard and mouse.
You can typically find most of your drivers on your motherboard manufacturer’s website, within the Support section. For graphics card drivers, visit AMD or Nvidia's websites.
If you provide us with your exact motherboard model, we can link you directly to the driver download page if you encounter difficulties locating it.
