Hi All,
My daughters PC (which used to be my old one) has a problem in that the USB slots seemed to have stopped working and I can't get it to recognize the USB keyboard or any other USB device. I also can't get it to recognise the keyboard using the legacy keyboard connector. I've tried my keyboard on her pc it doesn't work, i've tried her keyboard on my pc, it does work.
Her PC boots to windows but I can't do anything to then get into windows or even into the BIOS. I've taken everything apart and put it back together, i've even replaced the MB battery to see if that would reset everything but with no joy.
Therefore I think the MB has failed in some way.
Therefore I want to buy a new motherboard but I can't seem to find any motherboards on the market now that are compatible with the 6th Gen 6700K Intel processor the machine has, it is a socket 1151 and the current motherboard is an ASUS Z170M-Plus. I'd prefer not to have to buy a new CPU as well as the old CPU is a good one.
So the question is
a) are all 1151 motherboard compatible with 6th gen skylake, presume not.
b) anyone know of where I can buy a compatible motherboard these days? I want an atx mb not a micro.
c) any other help in getting the USB to work again?
Thanks
Taff
