We have a PC here & the keyboard has stopped working. We have tried a PS2 & usb keyboard (different USB ports) but nothing. Works in the bios & on the xp startup options but once windows loads, safe mode aswell the keyobard doesn't.

Any ideas?

is it a dell machine?


for some reason if any of our dell machines have been off for a while or are freshly built here at work it takes an age for the usb to spring into life at the logon screen.

But its also the same for the mouse though, does the mouse work ok at logon screen?

Yep its a gx280, the mouse does work fine just the keyboard playing up. Its a non networked PC aswell with some specialist software on so rebuilding it is really a last resort. Have tried the HD in a different PC & same problem.
 
no worries, for some stupid reason forgot about updating the BIOS. will give it a go thanks.

edit - doh it appears I can only update bios from with Windows
