No power to keyboard (confirmed with capslock) via any of my USB ports, even the ones on the pci card. No other indicator of hardware failiure, I.e. Memory card slots red led blink once on boot up as normal

I found when formated in the actual windows dos its more compatable with windows machines than a Mac exfat format.ĥ usb thumb drives needed formatting: I started with one and noticed after the format, the Mouse froze.
