keyboard and mouse stop working at login screen
I'm on win 7 pro with all updates. 100% sure that I didn't install any software or change any setting but just restarted my computer because it felt slow and its been a while. I do this every now and then to get good feels. Problem now is at the login screen, my keyboard and mouse don't work anymore. The same problem happens even when I select safe mode. I must mention that I've been having monitor problems in the last 2-3 days but I can't see that connected with this issue. Or is it? My dell ultrasharp is dying it looks like. Half of the screen to the left is flickering and the rest half is alright. After an hour or two it looks fine but then the problem comes back. I'm gonna buy a new monitor but this login issue cannot be connected with my monitor going bad right? The monitor is exhibiting this issue in the POST and BIOS screens too so I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the video drivers.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I must add that the keyboard/mouse works during the POST and BIOS setup screens. I'm also able to select safe mode option after pressing f8 in the advanced boot options
