I had to use a PS2 keyboard, and PS2 to USB adapter on a USB mouse, to install Windows 7. That also explains why I had problems installing Windows 7 on my Z97 Extreme6 mother board, that has only USB 3.0 ports on the board's IO panel. The Windows 7 installation files do not include a USB 3.0 driver. That works for all the USB ports, but if the OS you are installing does not have a USB 3.0 driver built into it, a USB keyboard, mouse, and USB installation media will not work on these boards. If I'm wrong about this, please enlighten me.) Why Intel did this, I don't know. Intel and only Intel caused that to happen (sorry Intel, but facts are facts. The Intel 100 series chipset boards, and a few of their SoC processor boards, only use USB 3.0 drivers for all the USB ports, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Intel takes at least 90% of the blame for this. Or I should say it is not well documented by the two most involved in this situation, Intel and Microsoft. Your problem is a known but curiously not well documented situation in the PC hardware world. tried using some old-fashioned keyboard and mouse, still seeing the problem.Īll above mentioned hardware should contain whatever software that come from the manufacturer.Ĭould anybody speculate what's going wrong here? Any suggestion to fix the problem is appreciated. Tried to disconnect every optional hardware, and keeping only: mother board, CPU, memory, DVD drive, and SSD, still freezes.Īlso tried using two different DVD-ROM of windows 7, no fix.
CSM are all set to legacy, no UEFI boot was used, and boot has been set to 1st: "SATA_1:SAMSUNG DVD-ROM" and 2nd: "SATA_0:intel SSD", the problem persists. Tried the solution suggested in the thread. I found a similar report within the forum: Key board input does not change the interface, and there is no mouse icon showed on the screen (strange :S)Īfter some research, I found many have reported windows 7 installation freezing at "starting windows" screen (in contrast to me freezing at setup interface) due to lack of hardware drivers, which can be fixed by setting boot from UEFI to legacy BIOS. After loading needed files, windows managed to get past "starting windows" screen, but freezes in the first screen of installation interface where I am supposed to choose the region and keyboard setup. The problem occurred when I tried to install windows 7. Some random samsung DVD writer (connected to SATA_1) Intel 5series 480G SSD (connected to SATA_0)
I recently built a desktop with the following setup:
