To wardog:

Let's take a different tack at this. http://www.asrock.com/feature/appshop/dl.asp That will always d/l the newest version of the ASRock APP Shop. Install it and then click on the "BIOS and Drivers" tab to see what it discovers is missing.

I've downloaded and installed the App shop and this is the situation when I go inside the "BIOS and Drivers" tab.
 
Nothing about the USB 3.0 drivers.

On a side note, unless your KB/Mouse IS specifically USB 3.0, those two belong in USB 2.0 ports.

At the moment, I'm using the mouse and keyboard on the USB ports arranged for them, but I've tried to change them too without any positive results.

If both NICs are working, what drivers are you having issue with? Windows 10 has a boat load of drivers "in-the-box' now so most drivers don't really need installed by the User.

I'm having issues with the official Asrock LAN driver (that I've downloaded from Asrock site). Anyway I'm using my PC with the Win10 drivers now and network works without problems at the moment.

For parsec:

Have you checked for a Win 10 specific driver for your Logitech keyboard and mouse?!

Yes, I'm sure that I downloaded the specific driver for Windows 10 x64 (I just re-downloaded it and freeze again the system).

Are you using the Fatal1ty USB port for the mouse? That port has its own software for configuring the port, which you can only get by using the APP Shop tool, available on your board's download page. Also, this port might not work well with every mouse.

The mouse was on the port you were talking about and I've changed it for the new driver install try I was talking above, sadly with the same result.

I've never had any problems installing the Intel networking drivers on my ASRock Z170 board, or any mother board. One thing you should do during this driver installation, is on the Setup Options screen. You'll see four features listed, three are checked by default. Find the Advanced Network Services entry, and uncheck it. You only want Device Drivers and PROSet.

When installing that driver, I tried different types of installation. I tried to check ONLY the driver installation too but it freezes anyway. By the way, I will try re-install the driver as you told me and I'll tell you soon.

Is possible that there is something to set inside the BIOS that can make this freeze happen? BIOS settings are to default.

Thanks again to all!
