Just swapped pc to a new case, keyboard wont work after post, boot issue

Hi all,

I have recently swapped case, but weirdly when I try to boot now I get the windows 7 boot manager come up. My keyboard works when posting as I can go to BIOS, but after that it doesnt, when it gives me the option to start windows normally or go to startup repair the keyboard just does not work.

I have tried every USB port on the motherboard

Any ideas?

Yeah I have tried all the sata ports, will try a CMOS reset now.

Cleared CMOS, still no good, can't even boot to windows 7 DVD as keyboard just fails to work after post, its a USB keyboard so could be something to do with USB channels after post.

This is an older AM2 motherboard so does have PS2 ports on but I don't have a PS2 keyboard until tomorrow.

Doesnt even get in to windows because of the boot issue

Rob - Cheers mate that worked, I didnt even know that was an option, it was disabled after CMOS reset, not sure if it was enabled/disabled prior to that but thanks, it's working, now I can sort out my boot issue
