ive been trying to re install windows but have run into a snag, it seems both my gaming usb keyboard (g510) and my other crappy logitech k200 oldskewl usb keyboard doesn't work in bios.

however i can get into bios by using either keyboard.

things ive tried
diconnect power take out the cmos battery and wait about 10 mins then plug everything back int

flashed bios to latest version f6 for ga-z68xp-ud4

tried multiple ports for the usb keyboards

went to post screen and tried accessing bios through there to no avail.

looked at a bunch of threads regarding usb keyboards not working in bios and non that ive seen matches or helps my problem

k thx

From my experience USB keyboards seem to be somewhat dependent on a functioning OS to properly function. This may be totally wrong but I have had issues with USB keyboards not working untill the OS is repaired after an issue/corruption.

Try getting your hands on a PS2 keyboard which should work.
