Hi Toms Hardware,
Last night I shut down my computer with the "Update and Shut Down" button, and this morning to my horror, I am unable to get past the rainbowy screen with the date and time. Usually it would be a click of the mouse or the tap of a key on my keyboard to bring me to the password entry page, but neither of these work. Not sure if its a complicated windows problem, or rather something like my mouse and keyboard being disabled. I am however able to get into the bios and use my mouse and keyboard perfectly there. Unfortunately I didn't have any system restore points so that was to no avail.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the same exact thing happens at the login screen in safe mode. Also, I notice that after I leave the bios, the "Num Lock" light on my keyboard turns off... it is usually on as far as I can remember.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
