Hi, Ive built my first PC. Everything is installed etc to my knowledge in regards to the O/S etc.
However, everytime I boot the PC I have to replug the keyboard when I get to the O/S. It works in the BIOS. But as I said, after that I have to replug it back in.
Just to add I use Windows 8.1
Any suggestions?

Regards.

What motherboard is it? What keyboard is it? Are you using the usb3 Port? (try another port)

Check for bios updates.

Check in bios for keyboard options.

Have you tried another keyboard with it?
 
Its a gigabyte 970a ud3p. Ye im using the usb3 port at the front of my corsair 200r case.
Its just a cheap £5 keyboard from argos until.i get a mechanical.
Tbh im not really sure with bios updates etc as im.very new. Would windows 8.1 update all this automatically or shouls i go to the gigabyte site for individual drivers?
Regards.
 
as gav says, put them in the USB2 ports.

May just need new USB3 drivers to get them to work, but it's wasted on a keyboard..

Leave the BIOS update for now then, if you pick the wrong one, it can make your machine unbootable.

Assuming this is the right page..

I'd install the Chipset driver, then reboot.

Then install the USB3 VIA driver, then reboot again.
 
Thank you for the imput. Yes that is the correct board. I will try it at the mobo ports then as my case is just usb3.
Do i have to continually check for driver updates for my mobo/gpu etc or will windows do a reliable.job for me?
Regards.
 
If you play games, then checking on a monthly basis for new graphics card drivers is worth it.

I wouldn't bother installing any 'BETA' drivers. These are generally pre-release testing drivers, generally less stable than normal drivers.

Windows Update does check certain ones. Windows Update has a history with XP of applying bad drivers through Windows Update. Can't say I've seen similar issues with Vista/7/8.

Most drivers, if your machine is working fine, then I'd just leave them.


Look in Device Manager to see if there any 'unkown' devices, these will need the drivers installed. If there are unknown items, go into Properties for that item. Details (tab), Hardware Ids (dropdown), then google the ID it gives you to find out which device it is. -ask here if you want guidance.

Ah yes I seen that ID search on linustechtips. Ill try that. And ill install the usb drivers and chipset from the gigabyte site.

Always a good idea to use them from their website and not the CD that you get with the motherboard. The ones on the CD are typically outdated..

On a new install, this is the order I install drivers.

LAN / Network card / wifi
Reboot

Chipset
Reboot

Graphics card
Reboot

Sound card
Reboot

USB/anything else
Reboot

You don't always need a reboot after a driver install, but that one time you do need to and decide to skip it, can trash your system.

And rebooting after each one makes any potential problems that they may create, easier to identify.
