First of all, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum. But...I couldn't find a place better than this to discuss my problem.
Here is my problem:
I recently purchased my new system, <font color=blue>Pentium 2.4B, Intel Desktop board D845 GEBV2</font color=blue>. Some times when I power on my system, I get a BIOS error message that keyboard is not functional. This only happens with cold boots, never with reboots. During a cold boot I have 75% chance that my keyboard would work and rest 25%, it won't work. Also some times when I shutdown the computer, the keyboard lights (CAPS, NUMS, SCROLL) will be blinking i.e there will be current in the keyboard, though the computer has successfully shutdown. And sometimes when I turn on
the main power switch (from where the power is coming into the computer) keyboard light will start blinking indicating that current is flowing in the keyboard, though the computer is not powered on yet.
Also a couple of times, when I tried to power on the system, there was no display on the monitor nor the keyboard light turned on (which should be when you just power on your computer), though though the hard drive, cpu and other fans were running.
Both the keyboard and the mice are PS/2. Can this be a problem with the PS/2 connector on the motherboard, a Power supply problem (PSU is 300 Watts) or just something else.
I am really confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
