USB controllers have support for PS2 codes which will allow them to work with a PS2 keyboard and mouse by using an adapter. If you don't have one, I suggest that you buy a cheap USB keyboard.



Please consult page 62 of your motherboard manual for instructions on updating the firmware. If you do not have the manual handy, you can download it here

well I don't have my manual handy and the page you gave doesn't give much info.......I remember manual about update and it just said that
http://www.gigabyte.in/webpage/20/HowToReflashBIOS.html

can anyone especially a gigabyte user can provide some info on that, btw I downloaded and unzipped updates on the pen drive if I can update it without os and without internet through that usb, then that would be great

Section 4-2-1 of the manual, titlted "Updating the BIOS with the Q-Flash Uitlity" details how to update the firmware from within the firmware itself rather than Windows.
