No boot with USB keyboard

I just got a Neo2-FIS2R which has v1.5 of the AMI BIOS. If I have a USB keyboard plugged in boot freezes at various places. With a PS/2 keyboard there is no problem at all and once in Windows XP the USB device is recognized and is usable.
Doe anyone know if later versions of the BIOS fix this problem as the release notes don't say.
thanks

Problem still not fixed...
Finally plucked up the courage to upgrade the BIOS from factory supplied 1.5 to the latest on the MSI site (1.9) and installed latest Intel c/s drivers.  As I've ruined a perfectly good optical drive through attempting to re-flash the firmware I was a little nervous but followed the (non-FAT) instructions on the MSI website & it worked fine.  System kept asking for boot floppy until I fixed the PATA/SATA parameters and XP couldn't see my RAID array for a while but fixed that also.
BIOS still refuses to recognise the keyboard regardless of whether it's plugged into the motherboard USB 2.0 ports or the LG1710's powered USB1.1 ports. I don't have another USB keyboard to hand so I'll live with it for now and use a PS/2 keyboard when I need to play with the BIOS.
Although it's a relatively new product I suspect the keyboard is the problem, it shows up as 2 user interface devices in Windows although I don't know if that is any indication.

  • P7N Diamond (still) won't boot with USB Keyboard

    Hey everyone, I have my box up and successfully running now, thanks for your help. I have 2 remaining issues. The motherboard will not post with my USB Saitek Eclipse I keyboard plugged in alone, I have to plug in a PS2 to get it through Post, then switch it out.
    Also, almost every time I cold boot, I get a message that says, "Operating System Not Found." When I reboot, it works fine.
    I've read through previous posts, but nothing seems to directly address my issues. Do you think the keyboard thing is a wait-for-BIOS-updates fix? Has anyone else successfully booted with a USB Keyboard on a P7N?

    The only time I had an "OS not found" error was when bios for some odd reason set first boot priority to the usb port on my dell monitor as well as other usb devices before my boot drive. I changed boot priority and it went away.

  • IMac Won't Boot With USB Keyboard Connected

    We have a suite of 10 iMacs (10,1 - 21.5 inch), but one of them will not boot and has issues coming out of sleep while a USB keyboard is plugged in.
    Have tried swapping the keyboard with another iMac - the other iMac still boots but the problem iMac continues to play up.
    Tried plugging the mouse into the iMac's USB instead of the keyboard's.
    Tried SMC reset, PRAM reset.
    Re - imaged the machine from a time machine backup of one of the other iMacs, which made the issue go away for about a month... but then it returned.
    Using a magic keyboard is fine as a workaround, but the users need the number pad, and if possible I'd rather fix the issue than buy a clunky separate keypad.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be very appreciated!

    Hello strathglass
    The same thing can also happen with other connected devices such as external HD's and iPods, the Startup Manager is lost and searching for a boot volume.
    1. You may be able to fix it by going to: *System Preference / Startup Disk* and select the *Mac OS X 10.5.5 on Macintosh HD* then *Click the lock to prevent further changes.*
    2. Leave those devices that cause boot issues disconnected until the iMac is up and running!
    3. Only sleep the iMac, and be sure to disconnect those devices be for shutting down or updates that require a restart!
    As a habit, I have always ejected and disconnected all mounted USB devices (flash driver, iPods, cameras, card reader, etc.) from my hub be for sleeping, restarting or shutting down...

  • MSi Dragon Editon 2 problems booting with usb mice

    Hi to all people. I have a problem with my laptop. If i update my BIOS with versions newer tan E1763IMS.50V the laptop doesn´t boot with usb mice connected. I think i  answer this in the past but with not solution and now i ask again  thinking some people have a solution now.I have checked with differents EC versions and  BIOS E1763IMS.50V and with all versions works fine. If i update the BIOS E1763IMS.50V with other newer BIOS the problem appears. When the pc is started  and Windows 8.1 is charged i can connect the mouse and works fine too. I have checked with various mices and with all the problem appears. The only BIOS that works fine is E1763IMS.50V.
    Thanks a lot for your help

    I borrowed a GT70, plugged my SteelSeries Rival optical mouse and flashed with the same 50V version to the laptop. It boots & works normally.
    And then I flashed to 518 version. It still boots & works normally.
    So maybe your problem is not on the mouse?
    Did it boot up if unplugging the mouse?

    When i try to boot i freezes at the detecting usb devices when i have a usb device connected. It does with any usb device. But when i boot up without any usb devices connected then i boot fine and i can connect the devices right after the detection of usb devices. How can that be?

    Googled on "computer not booting with usb code 6b38" and found this:
     Quote
    ****SLOW BOOT-UP in POST SCREEN****
    P.S. If you see the BIOS code 6B38 in the bottom right corner of the screen, this is a indication that USB Legancy support is enabled in the BIOS. If this is enabled and you have any usb devices attached such as a external USB Hard drive, your system will take ages to go through the POST boot screens.
    So disable this setting in the BIOS and the system will then boot in a matter of Seconds
    From:
    http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000250
    Also try and see if a clear CMOS will help, some people suggested that from a old post from MSI forum here, saying its bios 1.3 thats bugged.
    So if disabling doesnt work, perhaps down/upgrading BIOS might.

  • Neo 2 Platinum freezes while booting with USB HDD attached

    This system freezes when a powered-on USB HDD is connected. I realize that the system is trying to boot off the USB device and have disabled all of the USB boot options in the BIOS. However, DISABLE USB HDD is not one of them! Is their any BIOS or other fix available for the problem?
    Moe

    After bios update , clear cmos with jumper onboard .
    After that you must enter cmos setup and "Load optimized defaults" followed by save+exit
    Sounds to me bios if looking for MBR on attached USB HDD ( didn't do this on my Neo2 with 1.C bios and external USB attached)
    Set the normal boot order to

    Cdrom
    HDD
    Boot other devices :Disabled
    (other boot order can mock things up)
    Find "USB KB/Storage support" set to:Enable
    Save+Exit
    Boot with USB HDD attached and enter the submenu of "Harddisk boot priority" in cmos setup and all recognized HDD's
    wether they are IDE/SATA/USB shall be listed , move your OS HDD witch host bootfiles/mbr to top with PGUP key and save+exit .

  • GRUB with USB keyboard

    Hello guys,
    I have GNU GRUB as a bootloader on my MSI 845E Max machine. It all works fine, I can boot Windows and Linux with it, but for some kind of reason my USB keyboard won't work in the GRUB menu.
    Turning Legacy support on on the USB controller doesn't solve the problem, because it prevents the Linux kernel from booting.
    I mailed you guys about half a year ago about this problem, but I got no answer.
    Yours,

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.

  • W701 Won't boot with USB dongle attached

    W701 with current BIOS (6KET46WW v1.12) will hang if there is a USB dongle for a Microsoft Explorer Mouse USB dongle in the upper left USB (2.0) socket on boot. Works fine if you put the USB dongle in the lower USB/eSata socket. Note that the upper socket on this 2541-W1Z is NOT a USB 3.0 port (silver, not blue). Course I don't want to put it in that socket since I like to use that for eSata... Apparently the same problem exists in the W5XX laptops as well, but I don't see a post discussing the issue on the W701.

    Have you seen the thread

    Yours may be a similar problem.

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp - PS/2 Mouse wouldn't work with USB Keyboard!!!

    I cannot get my PS/2 Mouse move with when USB Keyboard is connected.  Both PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard work fine together. Similarly, both USB Mouse and Keyboard are OK.  Any solution???  Would be grateful for any assistance. Thanks

    Quote from: mike315 on 09-February-07, 23:00:26
    I built two 975X PUEs for two different people, finished them about 10 days apart.  They both ran fine for about a week and then on the same day, in two different houses over 25 miles apart they both "lost" all USB devices.  Yes, the USB Controllers still showed just fine in Device Manager but every USB port was dead.
    I went to both locations, UNinstalled ALL USB Controllers, let WindowsXP re-boot and re-find all controllers, which it did.  All USB ports went immediately active and have been fine for about two weeks since.  By the way, I didn't unplug or re-plug anything.
    I can't prove my theory, but both PCs were set to download WindowsXP updates AUTOMATICALLY and INSTALL them, and both PCs were using Broadband, i.e., "always on".  Tell me I'm crazy, but I think a WindowsXP update knocked out the USB ports.
    OK, I'm crazy, but answer me this:  What are the odds that two PCs - in different locations - would experience the SAME exact HARDWARE problem - and no others before or since - at the exact same time? 
    And, if you Google for USB problems IN GENERAL, you'll find other people experiencing the same thing about the same time, especially if they use WindowsXP BUT do not have Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) installed . . . which was exactly the situation with my two 975x builds.  Also, many of these people identify their recent problems as USB wireless mice problems, which is how both my build PCs were being run.  By the way, IE7 has already been identified as causing driver problems with some hardware, e.g., older model scanners.
    Very nice, but that really doesn't answer the topic or helps :P nice story though.

  • I can't boot with usb in windows 7 for setup win8.1

    please help me very fast...I have a iso file of win8.1 that i copied it in my usb disk.and i set the priority of boot in usb.but when i power on and select boot menu and then select usb...the windows 7 start normally.(my laptop:G500).what's the problem?

    Hi,
    How did you prep your flash drive?  If you're booting in legacy (not UEFI) mode,  it should be NTFS (for Win 7 anyway, haven't tested Win 8) with the active flag set.  If you're booting in UEFI mode it should be FAT32.

  • Macbook booting with wrong keyboard layout.

    hello all,
    i've got a 15 inch macbook pro with the latest os x. every time i reboot, it resets the keyboard layout to american english even though i preset it to swiss german. this means that i always need to go to the language settings and change it to my layout, which is quite annoying.
    any suggestions how to solve this?
    thanks a lot in advance and kind regards

  • Pm-suspend with usb keyboard

    Hi everyone. I have usb keyboard attached to my desktop, and I use pm-hibernate. To make it work I use widely-known solution with SUSPEND_MODULES="ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usbcore" in /etc/pm/sleep.d. Everything works well except that keyboard layout and repeat rate set in ~/.xinitrc are reset after suspend. Does anyone know how to get xset and setxkbmap called properly on each resume?

    Nope.  I was wrong about that.  USBx does not appear to apply to me because no entries of the sort exist in /proc/acpi/wakeup.  Here are the contents of the file.
    Device S-state Status Sysfs node
    PB5 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:05.0
    OHC0 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:12.0
    OHC1 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:12.1
    P2P S5 *disabled pci:0000:00:14.4
    LID S3 *enabled
    I followed the suggestions made here to do some investigating on the devices in wakeup.  OHC0 and OHC1 look to represent my USB devices.  Here's what dmesg has to say about them.
    $ dmesg | grep 0000:00:12.0

    [ 0.614597] ohci_hcd 0000:00:12.1: irq 16, io mem 0xd0605000
    So, I enabled them in the wakeup file, but it had no effect.  Still can't wakeup the system from a USB devicee.

    Thx,

    Hello
    It will be interesting to know if the printer is ON or OFF when you start the unit. I have tested my Tecra M1 with USB stick and the boot up procedure needs about 5 min. If I put the USB stick out the unit starts as usual.
