Hi All,
Details of my current setup are at the beginning of this thread:
Basically after flashing my BIOS to update to F9m following the QFlash guide in the Forums (so yes I did do it right and the flash completed with no problems) the system posted but hung at the Gigabyte Flash screen. No keypresses worked and so I couldnt get into the BIOS setup and the system didnt boot.
Sooo I disconnected my Advent USB illuminated keyboard and used a USB-PS2 converter to plug the keyboard into the PS-2 port on the back of the PC instead of a USB Port et Voila! the system booted fine. At this stage I had optimised defaults loaded in the BIOS no Overclock.
So I checked the following in the Integrated peripherals section:
1. USB 1.0 controller = [enabled]
2. USB 2.0 controller = [enabled]
3. USB Keyboard function = [enabled]
4. Disabled the full screen log so I could see what was happenning
Reboot same result after post the CPU type is announced but the memory check never completes it hangs there
So then tried the USB keyboard in other USB ports on the back of the PC no matter which one I put the USB keyboard into it hangs after post at same place. I tried my USB mouse in the same ports all appear to be wortking fine.
OK so then I try plugging the USB keyboard into a USB port on the side of my monitor and whatdya know it boots fine. I look in device manager there are no conflicts all devices appear to be working as they should.
So my questions are:
1. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happenning? could it be BIOS related? I ask this because previously I had version F9e installed and it worked fine in the PC back ports so problem only occurred after flashing with F9m.
2. Is it wise to set the "Halt On" BIOS setting to [No Errors] instead of the default [All but Keyboard] to see if it fixes the issue?
I currently have the USB keyboard working just fine off of the monitor USB Port so this is not a life or death issue just wierd and annoying
