Keyboard Issue with new build - can't enter bios

nantucket66 · 24 Jul 2009 at 23:24

I have just finished my new build this evening.

Asus Rampage II Extreme
i7 920
GTX 295
6 GB Patriot
Seasonic MD12 850W
2 x 128 G.Skill Falcons SSD

System posts ok and when I get prompted to enter the bios (press f1 to run set up etc etc) nothing happens.

Keyboard is this one-http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-022-RA

Keyboard lights up all on USB sockets, but nothing.
Typically I don't have another keyboard to hand.

Is there something I am missing or do I need another cheapy keyboard to get things up and running etc.

Cheers

try updating your kb firmware http://help.razersupport.com/us-en/...0724081107043086&pid=1620&pnm=Razer+Tarantula

i think the part where he states "i get prompted to enter the bios" obviously means it posts.

Yeah, it posted fine.

I could not get any further though.

I used to have a PS2 keyboard, but I must have chucked it :rolleyes:

But 24 hour Tesco is my friend, 45 minutes and £4.89 later Windows 7 RC is installing!

Cheers for the pointers chaps

haha nice one, let us know how the keyboard goes once W7 is installed.

W7 installed in about 10-12 minutes, very impressed with it so far.

Boot time with the SSD is incredible - blink and you'll miss it.

Once W7 once installed the Razer keyboard worked perfectly.

Well happy

All up and running now, one thing though - I still can't get into the bios using the Tarantula, only the cheapy ps2 keyboard.

Anyone know of a way around this?

I have installed the Razer software.

Cheers
