Hello,

When the CMOS date/time not set appears and tells you to hit F1 or F2 my keyboard will not respond to either command. I can hold a key down and hear the cpu responding with rapid clicks. I have tried using usb keyboards and no prevail. Any ideas on what to do?

Thank you
 
Set the time and clock in windows control panel. If your usb keyboard is disabled by default by the bios, you may have to use an older ps2 or wireless keyboard to access the bios and enable usb support. I use the "del" key or whatever f key is on the post screen to enter the bios.
