New Build, Everything working except USB :(

Hi,

So I am putting a new PC together for my friend.

Everything thing works perfectly (Hard drives load up, monitor has a picture, all fans are running, CD drives work ect)

Except for the USB ports. None of them, including the ones on the front of the case (plugged into the USB connector on the MB) and the USB ports that go directly into the motherboard on the back work. They will not power a basic mouse and keyboard.
Basically, do you guys have any suggestions of things I could try?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Check for USB options in the BIOS. From the sounds of it you will need a PS2 keyboard, or a PS2 to USB converter might work. What motherboard do you have?ch5richards

This is the motherboard I'm using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157139

If no USB ports work, not even the back ports, check the BIOS to make sure USB is enabled, including USB legacy support. If it is, and nothing works (especially in Windows), it sounds like a defective board.

^This^ but believe it or not sometimes your install CD will have drivers for that.
