A few days ago I went into BIOS to disable my onboard sound card. Nothing sinister. No other changes made.

Since then, every time I restart my computer, BIOS automatically runs, unless I unplug my keyboard. It's NOT the case that my F2 or Delete keys are stuck, since they are not constantly spamming once I am in Win7. I just have to unplug the keyboard for 10 seconds while the OS boots, and then plug it back in. Not the end of the world, but a pain in the neck.

mobo: ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3
OS: Win7-64
Keyboard (not that it should matter): Microsoft ergo

A possibility is that you set it to automatically boot into the bios, maybe you just accidentally changed a setting without even realising? It'd be unusual, but your bios might then be starting to itself but in the case where it can't detect a keyboard, and as such no input to do anything to said bios, it just sends you through to the OS?
Although that seems pretty unlikely to me, it'd be the first time I've heard of such a system and it would be quite unusual.

I just did a google search though and it seems that, although this was quite a while ago, other people were having multiple errors on start-up when they had devices, specifically gaming orientated mouses and the like, plugged into their USB 2.0 ports. If thats where you have it...

You should not have to turn off the onboard sound if you plugged a sound card in your board will use that instead of t he onboard stuff there is not a need to disable it just leave it on, unless there is another reason you did this.

You sure you didnt spill anything on your kb? I had a kb that I spilled a cup of water on it and it just kept putting 0/1 when i hit the backspace key instead of deleting any text (useful key is delete) everything else was fine.

If thats where you have it, try having it in one of your USB 3.0 ports and see if that changes anything?
