My USB ports won't work on my gigabyte ds3h motherboard (Intel) it is brand new. I don't know do I have to enable it by bios?

And the key board it self is working

if installed yourself
make sure clips from the i/o shield are not sticking into any ports

did you just instal windows? try installing:"Chipset INF Utility"
try disabling power saving in windows

go trough all bios settings?
some boards allow turning off ports to save power(could be an micro-atx thing?)

If you can access the BIOS with the keyboard but can't use it in Windows, then the issue is with Windows. However, if you can access the BIOS with the keyboard, then you should reinstall Windows

And if you can't access the BIOS at all, then your motherboard is likely faulty. BIOS or UEFI should always recognize the keyboard independently.

#

If a BIOS reset doesn't help either, then consider replacing your motherboard. There's no solution for the USB problem other than a BIOS reset
