Corsair Gaming RGB K70 cherry red throwing debug codes and not working

I finished building my new computer yesterday, and thought today I would start learning the new keyboard I bought and making lighting profiles and such. I bought it so I could change the colors of it, when I wanted to. Everything worked fine, until I decided to download the utility program, then it went to hell. It wouldn't recognize the keyboard, although it was plugged in and working, so I updated the firmware. Then it recognized it, but the colors wouldn't change, even though they were changing on the onscreen keyboard in the program. Then I tried to restart the computer and got debug codes on my motherboard. Finally it reset, and just stayed on a blank screen with a little underscore flashing in the top left corner. I thought this piece of junk just broke my PC, after a couple minutes, the windows logo came up, and it went ahead and booted. Still, nothing changed once it booted. I restarted again, and same crap. I unplugged the keyboard, restarted, and debug problem went away, and the computer returned to normal operation. I still havn't plugged it back in. I also uninstalled the utility software before unplugging it, but that didn't change anything. $170 is ridiculous for this.



I also had problems with the Corsair link in the H100i I bought, had to change a couple values in USB registry for the software to recognize the pump and fans. This is just ridiculous to say the least.
