Asrock z68 extreme 4 - cant get into bios

Faztastic · 15 Oct 2011 at 20:35

Hey guys,

not long upgraded my computer and now i am looking to go into the bios by pressing f2 or del.
The only thing is when my computer starts up it doesnt recognize the keyboard untill i get into windows, so technically i cant access it.

Now my keyboard is USB and not ps/2 port, but i dont have any other keyboard, so any ideas chaps?

Also could someone link me to the latest motheboard driver as they dont have a release date on the website, so i dont know which is latest, i have 1.50.

This is not a gen 3 asrock its the first z68 thanks.

What the hell is going on tonight?

If you mean the latest BIOS then that's 1.70 available here.

Try plugging the keyboard into different USB ports.

I dunno, think Asrock MBs are set to **** up on this night. LOL.

Download Latest BIOS and see if that works it, otherwise buy a usb to ps2.

Different usb ports dont work mate.

Have you tried all the USB ports including USB 3.0 and the ones on your case (assuming they're connected)?

Faztastic · 15 Oct 2011 at 20:53

yeah...

its weird never had this issue before lol.

Did you get a USB to PS/2 adapter with your keyboard or have one knocking around somewhere?

hmm is it something to do with the usb legacy setting?

Possibly, but unless the OP can actually get into the BIOS there's no way of changing it.

If they can't access the BIOS they'll just have to reset it and hope that the default USB settings allow access afterwards.

Ill try this tomorrow as i have to sleep.

I have had problems in the past with my gigabyte mouse not being detected too.

Regarding the usb legacy, should i enable it?

mine has been a bit hit and miss getting into the bios and #i use a PS2 keyboard. Sometimes I have to reboot before I can get in

USB legacy should be enabled!
My keyboard and mouse didn't work with out it!
