Motherboard/Keyboard Fault

    Got a new PC case and transfered my components over.
    Went to re-install windows but my keyboards stopped working. Its not the keyboard but the keyboard port on the motherboard.

    Tried a USB keyboard but I reckon there is a setting in the bios thats preventing it from working.

    Needless to say can't do much with my PC without a keyboard.

    Anyone with any idea's other than RMA the motherboard.

    Even if I do RMA I might be out of looking as it came with a external LED display that I broke by walking on at night in the dark.

    AFAIK unless you specifically told it to do so, the BIOS wouldn't disable PS2 input (Keyboard/Mouse), maybe you could flash the BIOS again - it could be corrupted?

    why not use the USB keyboard?

    It'll work, unless USB is broken

    Does the USB Keyboard work in the Bios and not in Windows? If so you you need you enable USB emulation in the bios in the devices menu.
