If USB support has always been disabled in the bios (which in my experience it isn't off by default on a new mobo??), then I'd say yes. As you'll need to use the keyboard to change the settings. But just get a USB to PS2 adapter, or borrow an old keyboard.

You'll need a PS2 keyboard to get into BIOS once and enable USB Keyboard and mouse to use USB before the OS loads .

Yep, first thing to check is the BIOS, make sure they are enabled. If you only have a USB keyboard you will be knackered.

Second thing i would check is the USB host controller in device manager. Update/change the driver.

This is brand new. Everything is. But the USB ports dont work.

Yeah, just thought - I have a USB Keboard but used a PS2 adapter when I built this. Cheap as chips mate, in fact my keyboard came with one!
You got a mate with an old PS2 Keyboard?
My USB mouse worked during the OS install mind.
