Getting into the bios with usb keyboard

dovey · 12 Jun 2009 at 01:46

Trying to put a pc together, everything has gone to plan and the thing boots but it will not recognise the usb keyboard which means I cannot get into the bios!

Offending motherboard is an asus a8n32. Not had this problem before using my g15. Is there anything I can do? I have not got a ps2 keyboard

Thanks

that is odd dovey, tried different usb ports? should recognise it as most keyboards are now usb. is it an old mobo or new one?

It's an old mobo picked it up from the members market, reset the bios via jumper and had the battery out for a while. Manual states that legacy usb support is set to auto by default which I thought would pick up and enable the keyboard?

Just going to try shuffle the ports around like you say tried two before throwing the toys out
