Problem with USB ports on older PC
Problem with USB ports on older PC
Hey there, I see you're dealing with a tricky issue. Let's try to figure it out together. You mentioned that after a cold boot, everything looks fine but your USB mouse and keyboard appear powered on yet don't respond properly. You've already tried several fixes—disabling USB suspend, turning off hibernation, changing ports, cleaning dust, and even resetting the USB cable. Still no improvement. Your system specs are solid: an i5 6600K, stock motherboard, MSI Z170A gaming PC, 16GB RAM at 2133MHz, R9 390 graphics, and a 750W PSU with Windows 10. It's frustrating when things don't work as expected despite all the adjustments. Could there be something else going on, like a faulty USB port or driver issue? Let me know what you think!
Have you experimented with the mouse and keyboard on another PC? It’s unlikely it’s the cause, but solutions exist. Check if your Windows USB drivers are current—look at the link provided: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170A-GA...ort#driver. Above all, ensure your BIOS is up to date. Recent updates can enhance USB compatibility and performance (refer to the attached image).
