So I'm sat here looking at the windows 7 language screen.

Setup the new machine on the desk. Turns on, has mouse and keyboard in bios fine (in USB 3 ports). Tell it to boot from the USB DVD drive and it starts loading the windows install, then somewhere in that the mouse and keyboard turn off and I can't continue on the install process.

I only have 2 usb 2 ports, and 4 usb 3,

It works if the mouse/keyboard is in a USB 2 port, I thought it was all backwards compatible? I'll have the right arseache if I only have 2 usb ports working.

Suppose I should have said it is an Asus p8z77-m-pro and a 3570k if that makes any difference.
