When I reboot my system after removing power to the motherboard, the mouse and keyboard do not work. My mbo is an ASUS P7H55. Although the mbo may be part of the problem, I think Windows 8 may be implicated too.
I'm using a clean newly installed Windows 8 system. I can reboot with no mouse problems until I power off the mbo. Then when Windows 8 comes up, the mouse is inactive. The mouse and keyboard are OK when used in the BIOS. I'm using a USB mouse, but a PS2 one exhibits the same behaviour. Also, when I have a non-working mouse in Windows, neither the dvd drive nor a USB flash drive will boot.
Once I've powered off, the mouse never works however many times I reboot. However, if I restore the Windows 8 image from a backup, the mouse is OK again until I next power off. This is why I think Windows 8 is part of the problem.
When I replace the system with Windows 7, there are no problems at all.
Even if there is a motherboard compatibility issue with Windows 8, something appears to happening in Windows 8, because restoring the system fixes the problem until the next power off.
Any idea what could be causing this? How can I investigate what's happened to Windows when the mouse stops working correctly?
