hey i have just built a computer and when a PS2 keyboard is connected, the monitor does not recognise that the computer is connected, when a usb keyboard or no keyboard at all is connected it will enter a black screen where it will display an american megetrends screen which displays the speed of my proccess and then just displays a black line every few minutes and on the odd occasion more numbers which im guessing is more specs of my comp.

My specs are:

Cosmos S case

Asus P5Q Pro Motherboards

Intel Q9550 CPU (with AC cooler master freezer extreme)

Asus ENGTX 285 graphics card

Cooler Master Real Power M850 Modular Power Supply

4 x 2GB of RAM (one of them is broken but have not been able to test which one yet)

and 3 HDD taken directly out of my old computer

i dont know if some old drivers from my last computer could be causing problems.

well think thats it hope you guys can help so i dont have to send the motherboard back, also could some one reccomend a better CPU fan whilst the artic cooler looks like it will do its job, its secured to the motherboard by small plastic clips and looks like it will fall off with any slight movement of the system.

thanks in advance
 
Well It wont be a driver problem as this part of the computer doesnt access the hard drive. It will most likely be a problem with the motherboard or keyboard. Does the keyboard work in another machine? Is it deffernatly in the right PS2 port (the purple one)?

You might need to upgrade the BIOS. Might be easier if you just get a USB keyboard.
 
hey yeah i put my old computer back together and the keyboard worked with it, i have also tried a second ps2 keyboard same problem, and forgot to mention the computer will not recognise that a usb keyboard is connected, should note that it has not made it past post i have not been able to enter bios, hmmm thinking i may have to send it back, do people know how long RMA testing will ussually take ?
