Intro/Problem: I installed 64bit windows 8.1 on an old computer. Everything was working fine, except the motherboard maxes out at 2GB RAM (and I saw a capacitor had blown out) so I bought a newer motherboard (MSI G41M-P33 combo) that still supported the old CPU (Pentium D). The USB ports are not working on the new motherboard once Windows boots up (but they work in the BIOS e.g. I can use my USB keyboard to set the BIOS). I have a PS/2-usb adapter on hand so I can still use the mouse and the onscreen keyboard to work in windows. When I try to update the USB drivers through device manager, I get a message saying the drivers are not compatible with Windows.

But it looks like each USB port is listed separately as a subset of the above item, with a warning icon over them.
QUESTION: Where can I find USB 2.0 drivers for Windows 8.1 64 bit? Google searching is not helping me much.
My other option is to deactivate these USB ports and just buy a PCI card with USB ports on them. Would these also require special drivers that might be problematic?
Thanks in advance,
