UEFI BIOS Navigation Problems and Possible Fix

I ran into a bizarre issue when going into the BIOS settings on my ASUS M5A97 motherboard. The mouse was stuck in the corner and would not move. The keyboard was also noticeably lacking in functionality.

This had never happened to me before so I was completely baffled. The issue seemed to be power being drawn from the mobo through USB. After unplugging 2 items it responded immediately.

I have had numerous issues with USB power in the past while running the OS but I never ran into it while cruising the BIOS.

If you run into this problem, try unplugging a few items. It's a simple fix that might just work.
