Mouse and keyboard don't work past BIOS / windows 7 not booting up
Hello everyone, I've browsed and searched these boards far and wide for a solution but couldn't find a problem that was exactly like mine.
So, I'll start from the start. A few days ago I had the brilliant idea to open up my rig and clean it's insides of the dust that had built up. I unplugged the psu and cleaned every component piece by piece. Then, I put the pieces back in and tried to boot...no dice. I wasn't getting any display. What's worse is that I was smelled a burnt electrical smell and slight smoke was coming from the inside of my computer. I immediately turned it off but the damage had been done...I think I may have plugged a cable in the wrong place.
It was time to upgrade, anyway. I went to the store and got a new motherboard, CPU and ram (since ddr4 was what my new motherboard and CPU needed).
Now it boots! I get a display! All the fans and internal lights are on. When I go in the BIOS, I can use my mouse and keyboard and mess around with the options.
However, when I go past that and try to get into windows, I get two options:
1. Boot windows normally
This leads to a slight loading then an immediate bsod and reboot
2. Launch startup repair
This launches startup repair normally but as soon as I reach the first screen, my mouse and keyboard turn off!
So here I sit, in quite a pickle. I tried all the various kinds of safe modes but they all lead to a bsod. The only thing that works is the system restore but I can't use mouse and keyboard!
What should I do in a situation like this? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
My specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350 gaming
Cpu: amd Ryzen 3 1200
Gpu: GeForce 750ti
Psu: antec ea-380d 380w
