Hi

put this system listed below together for my parents at the weekend

Managed to get past the problem of the mobo booting with 1.8v DDR2 and the memory I had ordered needing atleast 1.9v (was lucky that one of the sticks was stable at 1.8v long enough for me to get into the bios).

The annoying thing is the seemingly random no keyboard present boot error - if I plug in a wired mouse and keyboard, boot back into the system and then reconnect the wireless dongle - everything works again - leave it overnight and cold boot and the boot halts at the post screen with the no keyboard error - anything I am missing ?

Any help/ideas welcome

Cheers

There is an option in the BIOS about what errors to halt on - I think the option you want is "All but Keyboard + Floppy"

It should be fine after that :)

Tedious explanation: Essentially the BIOS isn't recognising the wireless keyboard, as you'd expect, but as you don't care about that you can just tell it to boot into windows regardless.
