I purchased this board (Intel D945GCLF2) AS IS with the statement that it boots into the BIOS fine, no further testing. Receiving it, I find out that using a USB keyboard, I cannot enter BIOS or do anything. After getting a PS2 keyboard, I can get into the BIOS and I installed WIn7. However, the USB mouse does not work in Windows. Nor does the USB keyboard or a flash drive. However, I have a usb DVD drive (used to install Win7) that will work just fine if it is plugged in before booting. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it doesn't show back up.

Additional oddities:
- DVD drive works in any USB port, front panel or on the mobo
- keyboard/mouse/flash drive will not work in any port
- flash drive shows up in bios as a boot option, but nothing in windows (I did eventually flash the BIOS with it, but it took many attempts)
- mouse/flash drive receives power

I have updated my chipset driver and to the newest BIOS, but no luck.

And this hasn't had any Windows updates yet, but I have a hard time thinking that is the issue since the keyboard doesn't work before loading windows.
 
Yep, I've tried resetting to defaults, unplugging and removing the battery for 20 min or so.
 
I've tried legacy support enabled and disabled, but neither seem to work.
 
And today the USB ports seem to be working after leaving the PC on overnight. Not sure why, but I won't push my luck. Recognized both a couple of flash drives and a keyboard.
