hi ,might be of help if you posted make and model# of your laptop .
you could try plugging a usb keyboard to see if that works

first thing i think of is the laptop might be overheating and locking up ,is this possible,is it older laptop and do u dust off the heatsinc and fan regularly with a can of compressed air .

its booting up very well but all the usb ports,mouse,in built keyboard are not working..thats why am confused and stressed out

that make no sense to me ,why all those devices would not work ,,so i assume it will not boot directly to the win7 dvd so you can try reinstalling win7 ,and i really don't have much to add, sorry
