Hey guys, i built my current gaming PC a little over 2 years and it's always served me very well, but lately when i boot up (before getting into windows) the mobo tells me it cannot detect a keyboard and i am unable to access bios. However, once i get into windows, the keyboard works 100% fine. The keyboard is just a generic $15 microsoft PS/2 keyboard. Has anyone heard of a problem like this before? Could it be my motherboard is just getting old? Is something wrong with my RAM even though i tested for 24 hours with memtest when i built?

Thanks for the Help!

Hello and welcome to the forums :)
Have you tried updating your BIOS ? also is your CPU OverClocked ?

Yes, my CPU was oc-ed to 3.0Ghz when i built. I had it stable for 8 hours in prime95 and all that good stuff, but recently it tells me my overclock has failed, which i figure is just a product of my CPU degrading over time. However, i don't know how i could update my mobo's bios without a working keyboard....

the first two steps would be to try another keyboard and if that doesn't work the reset the bios to fail safe defaults

bios can be reset without keyboard by removing either using the reset jumper on the MB (consult you owners manual) or unplug, remove bios battery, wait 5 min, and reassemble
