K8T Neo-V / Keyboard not detected

Here are my specs:
Motherboard: K8T Neo-V
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3100+
RAM: Kingston 512 MB PC3200
AGP: ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
HD: Maxtor SATA 80 GB Drive
PSU: Xion 400 watt (14A Max on +12V1, 15A Max on +12V2)
What I get upon booting:
PS2 Keyboard Not Found
CMOS Checksum Bad
Press F1 to load SETUP
Press F10 to load default values and continue
I don't know what the problem could be. Needless to say, there's nothing I'm able to do without a keyboard.
I have tried booting with everything in the case, as well as on a piece of cardboard (the way it is now). I still get the same error.
I have tried four keyboards. I used two OLD PS2 Keyboards (P1 era), 1 newer PS2 Keyboard (although unsure of age), and 1 USB Keyboard with a USB-to-PS/2 Convertor. No success. All four keyboards are functional in my two other PC's.
Any ideas? I have never tried an MSI board before; I'm thinking that may have been a huge mistake. I've never had these problems before. Is it RMA time?

The motherboard was purchased online by a friend (as I'm simply building it for him). I asked him about this and he said everything indicates that it's new... but you never know. This could have been returned by another user. It was purchased as a Mobo+CPU combo, but still came in a "sealed" box.
I've cleared the CMOS several times during my troubleshooting, but not while unplugging the AC cord. I just unplugged the AC cord, and changed the CMOS jumper. I let it sit for a minute, swapped back the jumper and plugged in the cord. Had the same problem. Now it also adds "Date/Time not set" to the list of errors mentioned above.
Any other ideas

  • Ultra 60 keyboard not detected

    Hello, I have an Ultra 60, 2X450MHz, 2GB RAM, 2X 50GB HDD, Creator 3D. I recently used the Solaris 10 CD-ROM to format>analyze>purge the hard disks, which went without errors. Now I connect a Sun Type 5c KB/Type 5 mouse, and one of the following occurs at boot seemingly at random:
    1. OBP message above banner "cannot detect keyboard layout fe (or c2 or co" and "using USA keyboard layout" followed by banner with "Keyboard present" therein; however when keys are pressed, only repeating 3's or "Keyboard error" appears after OK prompt. Or...
    2. No message above banner, but banner displays no keyboard present; same 3's repeating or error upon keypresses. Or...
    3. No banner at all, but message "keyboard not detected, sending input/output to ttya".
    I am using this keyboard right now on an Ultra 5. I have tried another Type 5c and a Type 6 on the Ultra 60 with the same results. My questions:
    1. Is this an OBP fault? How to serial console to this machine without it having a hostname in order to update the PROM?
    2. Is this a mainboard fault, like in the keyboard jack or something? Do I need a new mainboard?
    This happened overnight. The only thing I can think of that I did was that I used a Belkin adapter (with PS/2 ports and VGA port) to purge the hard disks, then plugged in a Sun KB/mouse along with a display adapter as soon as I acquired them. I am lost! Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    See my thread here
    PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work
    In short there is no known solution, it is an manufacturing fault, usually swapping to USB and enabling USB keyboard and mouse in the BIOS will help.

  • K8T Neo-FSR will not boot Windows XP

    Hello,
    I just finished swapping out my old Asus P4B266 motherboard for an MSI
    K8T Neo-FSR.  I plugged all my old components into the motherboard and
    started it up.  I can get into the BIOS and everything seems to be ok
    as it detects all my drives (Seagate 120 GB IDE, Zip-100, Floppy 1.44,
    Creative Labs DVD and Plextor DVD burner).  However, after exiting the
    BIOS, I get the screen that tells me to select how Windows XP should
    start (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with
    networking, or start normally).  This is where my problem is.  I
    cannot get Windows XP to boot regardless of which option I choose.  I
    really do not want to have to reformat my drive.  If anyone has a
    solution or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in
    advance.
    Current hardware:
    K8T Neo-FSR
    Athlon 64 2800+
    512 MB Crucial PC3200 RAM (non-ECC, unbuffered) CAS=3
    120 GB Seagate IDE Hard Drive
    (trying to load) Windows XP with SP1

    Hi
    Not a lot without BIG risk of losing some data. If you have mega important files, you will of course have several backups, and backups of back ups.  
    So you could slip another HDD in a bay and plug the cable from your Sys HDD into it. Then install OS to it, and use it to check and repair your IMPORTANT HDD, after, of course, you have done ANOTHER BACKUP. you may be able to use disk management or device manager to fix MBR and boot files.  As your offending HDD and the old C: partition, will will have a new Partition letter now, you can use XP CD repair facility of repair your previous installation. You will of course lose IE and OE info and settings, but not a lot else. But there again havng back up to Express Assist all your emails,OE settings and accounts along with all yout IE settings and data, will be restored at the touch of a couple of keys.

  • Keyboard not detected while installing

    Hi All,
    I have a HP netserver lp1000r machine.
    I want to install solaris 10 on it.
    The keyboard works fine for installation of other linux distros like Ubuntu server etc.
    It works fine while i am configuring the BIOS.
    Some how the solaris installation program is not able to detect it.
    the keyboard is a normal PS/2 keyboard and works fine on the same machine for other linux distros and BIOS too.
    Can any one tell me how to solve this problem as I am really eager to get some solaris experience. I will be using this machine for DHCP, DNS caching, proxy and other purposes.
    Regards

    I have been scouring the internet on my limited dial-up connection trying to find someone who had a definitive solution to this problem which I too have been stuck with.
    What finally resolved this keyboard problem during that critical stage in the win xp setup was by:
    1. Going to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse and check-marking "USE ALL F1, F2 ETC. KEYS AS STANDARD FUNCTION KEYS (when this option is selected, press the Fn key to use the special features printed on each key)" Before starting up Boot Camp,
    2. and Unplugging the Mighty Mouse from the keyboard while my mac was rebooting.
    Switching out the apple keyboard for a standard USB keyboard did not work (perhaps in hindsight, i should have plugged it in first before boot camp rebooted and tried to install win xp;)
    Attempting time after time again did not solve the issue;
    Neither did doing all the software updates, firmware updates and such while borrowing an ethernet cable connection from my local library;
    I did not need to find another Win XP with SP2 nor did I need to find a USB keyboard;
    Not even updating my Mac OS X from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 or installing the new firmwares for the Apple aluminium keyboard was necessary it seems.
    Just a simple checkmark to make the apple keyboard's F-keys primary and unplugging the Mouse from the keyboard before the WinXP install kicked in, allowed me to press Enter to proceed with the installation.
    I also turned off the special functions of the mighty mouse like the center click and roll ball, but I felt obligated to post the solution to this problem - Do as you would be done by.
    Hope this helps others who encounter this same problem, please confirm if I am correct. Good luck.

  • X220: external USB keyboard not detected in BIOS

    Hi!
    I use an external USB keyboard attached to the port replicator of my X220. When Windows is booted the keyboard works without any problems. But I cannot use the keyboard pre-boot, e.g. to enter the HDD password after starting up, to configure the BIOS, etc.
    I tried all USB ports both of the port replicator and the X220. The keyboard is still not detected by the BIOS (Version 1.20) and there are no BIOS options to enable "USB keyboard support".
    Has anyone experienced similar problems? Are there any solutions to get the keyboard detected by the BIOS?
    Thank you for your support!

  • 875p-Neo Chipset is not detected

    Went to install Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition 3.5. where this becomes interetsing is that it says the hardware is incompatable. and this software is not compatable on this chipset. Now seeing as im using the 875p chipset and it is supported i deciedt to download and run the chipset ID tool from intel. Got the message from it saying all components could not be identified. futhermore using information on intels website. I tried to use device mang to manually ID my chipset(i know its 875p).
    According to intel I should see Intel(R) 82875 Processor to I/O Controller - 257E under system devices if my OS is correctly decting my chipset. ITS NOT THERE. I tried to download and reinstall the chipset software with no luck. Anyone have the same problem or better yet know of a way to fix this?

    From what ive read on these forums device manager only detects 82801ER with the RAID software installed
    If like me you have the LSR version you cant use RAID ...its strange though because my southbridge chip is marked as 82801ER and the American website states:-

  • Iconia W700: Bluetooth keyboard not detected in Windows 10 x64

    I am in the process of updating all the computers in my house to Windows 10 and it has been fairly painless so far for most of the devices. However, I cannot get my Iconia W700 tablet to recognize the Bluetooth keyboard. It is the keyboard with integrated cover, and I've followed the procedure, as stated on Acer's website, of holding the power button on the keyboard for 5 seconds to put it into discovery mode, and then adding a device from the Bluetooth device menu. Obviously the menus have new locations, but are not hard to find. I updated the Bluetooth driver on the tablet but that did not remedy the issue. I looked around and couldn't find any mention of this problem here or elsewhere, probably since Windows 10 just launched a few days ago.

    Ok, so I'm not sure if the driver was actually the issue, but the Acer documentation on putting the Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode requires you to press and hold the power button until the two LEDs on the keyboard start to alternate like on a police car. If someone is reading this and this still doesn't allow you to pair the keyboard, then here are the steps to get the proper Bluetooth driver: Open the Device Manager (right-click windows icon in bottom left)Expand the "Bluetooth" category in the Device ManagerRight click the Bluetooth driver (should be the first in the list if there are multiple devices listed)Click UninstallRestart the tablet. The Bluetooth driver will be reinstalled on reboot.Open the Device Manager again after you log inRight click the Bluetooth driver and click "Update Driver Software..."Select the option for Windows to search for the driver software.An update should be downloaded and installed.Now repeat the pairing steps detailed above, and you should see an option to pair the keyboard appear in your Bluetooth settings.I've subscribed to this thread so if anyone has a problem, just reply and I will try to help you sort it out.

  • Microsoft keyboard not detected

    I connected a Microsoft Internet PS/2 Keyboard to one of the Mini's USB ports using a PS/2 to USB adaptor. The computer thinks there is no keyboard connected. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

    I didn't have luck with PS/2 to USB adapters myself. The Microsoft USB keyboard I have worked right away with the mini but my Honeywells, original IBM gave me problems.
    One thing you can do is test out your PS/2 to USB adapter with the keyboard by plugging it back into a PC and seeing if it works fine under windows to test the adapter plug for proper wiring connectivity.

  • MSI P965 Neo-F IDE Not detected

    Hello, i recently installed my p965 with my sata2 hdd, ide hdd and dvdrw, but these last two dont appear in bios, and i do need them to be booted so i can install new OS, i dunno if this is a repeated topic, unfortunatly i searched and no other topic helped me, so i was hoping someone could help me solving this problem.
    Thanks

    Connect the SATA drive to one of the Intel controllers (SATA ports 2-5). that way you will be able to see your drive in BIOS. Anything that you'll connect to the IDE controller(witch is controlled by third party controller from Jmicron) wont be shown in the main BIOS, because main BIOS only contains devices that are controlled by Intel southbridge. And that's why you cannot see your DVD/RW and IDE Hard drive in the main BIOS.But with a proper driver installed in windows,this controller works even better then the Intel controllers(better burst rate for the SATA hard drives)
    The thing that you should know is that, when you connect two devices with different DMAs on one IDE controller, the controller will set the DMA within the device that have a lower DMA (for example if your IDE hard drive works in UDMA5,and the DVD/RW in UDMA2, both of devices will work in UDMA2, witch will cause low performance for your hard drive, even for your system too). So my advice is that you unplug the IDE HDD,and continue to use only SATA HDD, for better performance.

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

  • K8T Neo-F (ver. 2.0) Unknown CPU Problem!

    Hi all,
    I've a really big problem with two mainboard K8T NEO-F (MS-6702 VER 2.0). I'm trying to build two pcs with these boards and two AMD Sempron64 2800+ Sock754.
    The problem is that when I turn the system on, immediately after all post messages like SATA controller diagnose, Realtek network boot, checking NVRAM, I get this message:
    "Warning unknow CPU type"
    "System halted"
    Then I can't even reboot pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or getting into bios setup pressing DEL. The system is frozen and I can't reboot.
    I've tried to flash the bios using the recovery feature (CTRL+HOME and floppy disk with bios inserted), it starts flashing and than when I get those four beeps, I rebooted and I get the "system halted" message again.
    I saw that the latest bios for K8T NEO Series is NOT for version 2.0 like these two ones that I've got.
    What can I do? Please someone help me...
    Regards,
    Paolo

    Thanks to everyone who replied...
    The mainboard is not K8T Neo-V it's K8T Neo-F v2.0 infact on the PCB it's exactly signed MS-6702 VER 2.0.
    I really can't update the bios since I can't even boot up my system. The only way to flash the bios seems to be trying to find the correct bios for this mainboard and flash it through the bios recovery procedure (pressing CTRL+HOME during boot).
    Otherwise I've to find some other old CPU that is being supported by this mainboard, but this seems quite incredible to me! In also from my local distributors, new sock754 CPU are just Sempron64 ...
    Someone could help me finding a bios update for Sempron64 support for this mainboard?
    Regards,
    Paolo

  • MSI K8T-NEO won't Detect Intelli microsoft mice

    does any1 else have a microsoft intelli explorer mouse?
    This boared will not detect mine yet all other pc's i have detect the mouse no what it is and it's fine.
    I have installed the SP1 usb 1.1 drivers and messed with the legacy support in bios.
    I'm nearly 100% sure this mouse (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004VUC3/026-2276493-0209240)
    and the MSI neo K8T are incompatible.
    Cheers to any1 who replies
    John

    I had been having problems with some MS Explorer mice and one PS2 mouse. 6702-010 mobo, XP sp1, V1.2 bios, 3200 Athlon 64, 1GB ram, see profile for more.
    I was able to get an old Logitech oem PS2 mouse to work most of the time;
    a wired MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 worked all of the time;
    an MS Wireless Intellimouse Explorer would not work for more than a few seconds before jerking to a halt;
    an MS Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 would not work for more than a few seconds before jerking to a halt.
    I loaded (and reloaded) all of the drivers from the original CD's. No help.
    I read Bas's suggestions, and gwatemala's replys and efforts, and followed the suggestions. All 8 ports were enabled in bios. No legacy usb options were permitted. All usb ports worked with an APC UPS and a Sony 510U DVD.
    All of this turned around when I unplugged all usb and ps2 devices (keyboard included) and then plugged in each of the three USB MS mice one at a time while watchng what Device Manager thought was connected. THEN I plugged the keyboard in, and it was not recognized (acted dead, but was visible in Device Manager list and had okay status).
    I rebooted.
    All three MS 'Intellimice' were recognized and worked fine simultaneously. Worked for Word, browsing, and Freelancer. Keyboard worked fine as well. PS2 mouse DOES NOT work, and does not show up in device manager.
    I have disconnected wired usb Intellimouse and wireless usb Intellimouse 2.0. All usb ports seem to be high speed (Sony 510U doesn't complain at least, and it does normally complain if on a 1.x port).
    Gwatemala, try running device manager, removing all ps2 and usb devices, and then plug in wireless mouse.
    Bottom line; seems as if OS wasn't seeing the usb devices full time. Disconnecting and then reconnecting ps2 keyboard seemed to allow OS to find USB mice. Not a definitive solution probably, but maybe a workaround.

  • K8T Neo boot only without keyboard

    Hi,
    since yesterday I am owner of an MSI K8T Neo Mainboard, but unfortunately I can't enjoy it. The mainboard boots only sometimes an only if the keyboard is not connected.
    My system:
    Mainboard: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (MS 6702 Ver. 1.0)
    Prozessor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
    Cooler: Artic Cooling Silencer 64
    RAM: Infineon 2100er DDR RAM (HYS64D32000GU-7-A, A3E115011, PC2100U-20330-B1. CL2)
    Graphic card: ATI Radeon 8500 64 MB
    Power Supply: Enermax EG465AX-VE(G) FMA 460 W (+3.3V: 35A, +5V: 35A, +12V: 33A)
    While I'm trying to find the problem I 've already try to:
    - running the mainboard outside of te case to avoid shortcircuits
    - reseting CMOS
    At the moment the mainboard is lying on a piece of newspaper, only the processor, the cooler, the power supply (both power connectors, even the 4-pin 12V connector), the graphic card, the power switch and the diagnose LEDs (D-Bracket 2) are connected.
    If I power on the system, I get to the boot screen, where the system want's me to hit F1 or F2 to configure the reseted CMOS, but thats difficult without  a keyboard...
    If I connect the keyboard (PS/2), the first boot screen stays on the display (the CoreCell Ship logo, no texts) and the d-bracket shows "attempt to boot". I tried 3 different PS/2 Keyboards (one Cherry Keyboard and two NoName products), but it's every time the same effect.
    I already tried to fit only one of the Infineon RAMs into the motherboard, but nothings changes.
    Is there someone who can help me? What else could I try?  
    Greetings
    Henning

    The board is outside the case. No possibility for a short circuit.
    I try to connect a mouse/keyboard kombination:
    ps/2 keyboard connected: no boot
    ps/2 keyboard/ usb mouse: no boot
    ps/2 keyboard/ ps/2 mouse: no boot
    only usb mouse: no boot
    only ps/2 mouse: no boot
    nothing connected: boot
    b.t.w. the d-bracket shows "attempting to boot" after it shows "bios sign on (this will start showing information about logo, prozessor,...)"
    Greetings

  • MSI K8T Neo Motherboard not recognising HDD

    G'day all. I have recently bought various computer parts to install them myself. I installed them reading the instructions to the letter. Below is my system.
    AMD64 3000
    MSI K8T Neo
    GeiL Twinx 1GB (2x512MB)
    Seagate 160GB SATA HDD
    Pioneer Multiformat Burner
    Sony DVD-ROM
    1.44MB FDD
    I started the system up for the first time, and on the startup DOS style, 'BIOS not loaded', comes up. Then, it comes to the bit where Energy symbol is displayed. I hit F1 to go to setup. And looking at Primary Master, there is no HDD listed. I have the two cd/dvd drives on IDE2. leaving IDE1 open. The HDD is plugged into power and the orange SATA cable is plugged into Serial1, and ive tried it in SATA1. No luck. Also, Im curious as to why my FDD's light is on constantly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im pretty sure once I get the HDD recognised, I load windows xp and its pretty much smooth sailing from there. Thanks in advance.

  • 6600GT not working with K8T neo-FIS2R

    I recently returned a K8T NEO-FIS2R MB for repair. The problem was that the PS/2 and USB ports were broken. However the MB has been returned and the PS/2 and USB ports work fine. I posted about this several months ago.
    Now the AGP port seems to be broken (not the actual slot). I have tried a 6800 Ultra and a 6600 GT (AGP version) GFX card in this slot. Both cards fail at the driver installation point. I have tried driver versions 66.93, 67.02 and 67.03. I also tried 3 versions of the via drivers 451, 453 and 455. Even tried XP with SP1 and SP2. The PC will sometimes BSOD, reset, won't boot into windows. The drivers sometimes install then other times they won't, etc. The problems only seem to be with the drivers for the GFX cards.
    The 6600 GT works as I have tried it in another MB without any problems.
    I know the memory works fine as I used memtest86+ for a couple of hours on the default settings without any errors and it works in another PC.
    The spec of the PC is:
    XP pro
    K8T NEO-FIS2R MB
    512MB corsair XMS at 2.5-3-7-3
    XFX 6600GT
    40gig HDD
    FDD
    Plextor CD writer
    DVD Rom
    PSU is a Q-tec 550W
    I know Q-tec PSUs are not up to much from what I have read elsewhere in this forum, but I have had it running in a similar system with the 6800 Ultra installed without any trouble (even with the above MB before it went faulty). I have also tried a 400W PSU, that came with the case. The Voltages on the 12V line are between 12.00 and 12.03 when using the Q-tec PSU.
    Has any body else had these problems with the 6600GT in the mentioned MB.
    Also, how can I check the serial number on the MB with the label on the box, as this MB that was returned to me looks to “clean” to be the one I sent away for repair.
    Thanks for any help

    Hey, I'm glad to see a post on the new Gforce 6600GT AGP card.  I just recently put together a brand new system (see my sig for specs).  System runs great.  The only thing I wanted to do was replace the video card, and after a great deal of anxiety I decided the Geforce 6600GT AGP was the best bang for the buck.
    Well I got home, installed the card and never get passed the bios screen.  (shows your processor, memory, memory siz), the screen u hit DEL to go into the bios.  
    The system doens't lock up, NUM LOCK can still be turned on and off, and CAPS can be turned of and on... but thats it.  Just sits on that screen.  I can't go into the bios either.
    what settings do I need to do prior to isntalling this card to get it to work.  
    Let me know if you all need anymore details to help me out.
    oh, I did reset my frequency to 10x200 (which is what I think the 3000+ is supposed to be at).

Maybe you are looking for
