P67A-GD53 (B3) - No USB Keyboard in Bios or Pre-boot

Hi All, first question from me which I can't seem to find an answer for.
I can't seem to get my USB keyboard to work in the BIOS screen or allow me to enter BIOS via the Del key. I also use truecrypt for pre-boot authentication and the keyboard won't work for this either. It's a Corsair K60 keyboard and it works fine in Windows. I've updated to the latest BIOS (rev. H) which supposedly fixes some USB issues but this has not fixed the problem. 
Anyone get any ideas on what the issue might be?
Thanks.

Try with the F-Lock enabled on the keyboard. Standard USB keyboard work alright? Recommend to open a ticket with MSI Tech Support. If it is a compatibility issue, they will need to try & duplicate it & come up with a permanent fix. http://support.msi.com

  • Wireless and USB keyboard dosen´t work during boot

    After rebooting my Imac the keyboard dosen´t respond in the boot phase. I get this famous blinking question mark at booting so I have to press C or D on the keyboard for options. The problem is that neither the wireless keyboard or my new USB keyboard work. I have also installed the firmware password utility, but it dosen´t get that far to ask for password, just this blinking question mark at startup. Does someone have an idea how to make the computer respond to the keyboard commands????

    Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: About the Bluetooth Firmware Update
    * Last Modified on: December 09, 2003
    * Article: 86493
    The Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD include a firmware updater. You can use it to update the firmware of your computer's built-in Bluetooth hardware or a D-Link DBT-120 (rev B2 or later) USB to Bluetooth adapter.
    About the Bluetooth Firmware Update
    For optimal performance of the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, you should install the Bluetooth Firmware Update. The firmware update can improve the performance of the mouse and keyboard by decreasing connection and tracking issues.
    Installing the firmware update lets you use keys on the Apple Wireless Keyboard during the startup process. This is important if you need to start up the computer from a CD, in target disk mode, or reset parameter RAM (PRAM), for example.
    It also lets you wake the computer from sleep by clicking the Apple Wireless Mouse or pressing a key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    The firmware updater is available on the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD. It is designed to update the built-in Bluetooth hardware of some Macintosh computers. To find out which computers have this hardware, see technical document 86207, "Bluetooth: Macintosh Computers With Built-In Bluetooth". You can also use it to update the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later).
    If you don't have an Apple Wireless Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard, you don't need to install this update.
    Important: This updater does not add these features to other Bluetooth devices, including earlier revisions of the D-Link adapter and other USB Bluetooth adapters.
    Installing the Bluetooth Firmware Update
    1. Install the keyboard and mouse software, which includes Apple Bluetooth 1.3 software. It's available on the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD. Double-click the file named KeyboardAndMouse.pkg.
    2. If you have a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later), make sure it is plugged into one of the computer's USB ports and not a port on a keyboard, display, or hub.
    3. Open the firmware updater from the install disc. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

  • P67A-GD53\GD65 BIOS compatibility

    Hi, the question is: do P67A-GD53\GD65 boards use the same bios, so it is safe to flash, for example gd65 bios to gd53 board?
    Thanx in advance.

    Any specific reason you want to flash at all?
    BIOS is NOT a driver, if the system is fine it should be left alone.

  • Cant use usb keyboards on bootup on P67A-C43 with newest bios

    I installed the latest bios for my P67A-C43 and found i couldn't access bios anymore so i plugged in an older ps3 keyboard and got into bios that way,i tried v 1.18 and 1.17 bios and both won't let me use a usb keyboard(tried 2 different usb keyboards)so i went back to bios 1.14 and got my usb keyboard working again in bios,anyone else have this problem with the newest bios and find fix for it?
    I'm running a 2600k with 16gb of corsair vengeance ram.

    The reason i flash is for compatibility issues
    If an issue is noted, now that you have found the forum, before a flash, many times answers may point to something other than a UEFI/BIOS problem. Anyway, if you have the Intel ME driver, chipset driver, and USB Renesas 3.0 driver installed, there are no UEFI/BIOS settings other than enabling all the USB 'enable' options. In this situation, when a keyboard did work, and then didn't with a flash to a newer release UEFI/BIOS, MSI needs to be made aware of this so they can address it in an upcoming release. Again, if there are no compatibility issues experienced with an existing/older UEFI/BIOS version, there is no practical reason for flashing. It is not a driver.
    If and when a flash is required, please use the forum's USB flasher found here at this link;
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
    After a flash, it is also recommended to do a full battery removed CMOS clear and reset.

  • USB Keyboard/Mouse do not function in Bios (Bios Change log too)

    I have 1.7 and the system seems fairly stable, a few BSOD's occasionally and it normally seems to occur when the system is idle. I can work on that, but now when I boot my usb keyboard will not function for the EFI/Bios. I have a Old PS2 keyboard working for now but was hoping there is some work around that someone might now. Everything is enabled in the Bios and I even disabled, saved, re- enabled, saved.
    Saving (F10) still causes the system to power down, but I can live with that.
    Now for the BIOS, can we get a change log to determine what issues are being resolved with these update? I have 1.8b7 downloaded but last update I lost my Raid array so I want to see change logs before a possible rebuild.
    Lastly I am used to new hardware having issues especially with OCing, but the EFI/BIOS seems extremely temperamental. First MSI board and my work is on the road a lot so I am hoping to get some of this fixed soon.
    Thanks for any advice

  • Can I enter BIOS with a USB keyboard on a Thinkstation E20 with USB legacy disabled?

    Hi,
    My Thinkstation E20 with XP SP3 won't boot up with an external HDD connected to its USB. Tried various things:
    1. Changing boot sequence so that the USB-HDD is behind the internal HDD
    2. Excluding USB-HDD from the boot order
    3. Using a different USB-HDD
    But all this won't work, after the motherboard boot, I get a black screen. The system boots normally with the USB-HDD disconnected.
    So as a last option I would like to disable USB legacy support, but I am worried that I won't be able to use the USB keyboard anymore to enter BIOS. As the Thinkstation has no ps/2 port this could be a real issue down the road.
    Microsoft info is that on most system you should be able to use a USB keyboard during the motherboard phase even with USB legacy disabled, but I can't find if theThinkstation can do this?
    Does anyone know/tried it?
    Thanks for your help,
    Andre
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    welcome to the forum!
    you'll always be able to use the keyboard to access the BIOS.   after all, if a system could completely lock out the keyboard then you'd have no way of unlocking it.
    what port(s) have you tried connecting the USB HDD?   if you've only tried the front, try a port on the back and see if anything improves.
    what brand/model USB HDD are you using?

  • Windows will not load while a USB is plugged into P67A-GD53 (B3)

    There are a couple issues here but that is the main one that I'm dealing with. I just built a new rig a few days ago and for some reason Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit will freeze at the Windows logo if I have any external devices (USB, speaker jack, etc.) plugged into it. If I unplug everything from it, Windows will start as normal, I'll just plug everything back in after the Windows logo screen and I'll experience no issues while running. I've installed all drivers that I could from the Windows device manager however, I was not able to boot from the drivers and utilities disk that came with the P67A-GD53 (B3). The CD would load to the Winki install options screen, I'd select to install and then the screen would go black. When I load the disk from the desktop the online update option sends me to a 404 page . No beeps on start up. Any ideas?

     Did you do a fresh install of Windows on the HDD or is it an old install and simply transferred HDD from old system?

  • USB Keyboard BIOS Setting

    I've just installed a K7/N420 Pro Board, but i cannot get the BIOS to recognise my USB keyboard.  In the BIOS this setting is greyed out?
    Can anyone help?  All other settings are working as expected, including my other USB devices.

    Hi,
    USB keyboard support is avaible only till bios version 2.2.
    So you have to flash it if you're still with v2.0
    But if you can, I would recommend using PS/2 because it's less critical than flashing bios on this motherboard.
    Hope it helps.

  • MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Bios failure?

    Hello everyone,
    I am in a bit of trouble, and I'm hoping someone can help me out.  I'd like to say that I've only flashed mobos a few times in the past but never had any problems until now so I'm kinda unsure with what to do.
    I was getting some BSOD now and then while playing games and decided to update the BIOS etc to see if that would help fix it.  Well, I flashed from the 1.A bios (2011-03-30) to the latest one from the BIOS menu.  It got to about 98% then restarted and now it just BSOD's over and over, I'm lucky if I can get into Windows, the BSOD's are usually all sorts of different things.  I have tried flashing back to the previous BIOS but no difference - I really hope I haven't killed the board.  I've tried clearing the CMOS - made no difference.  Tried to boot from optical to reinstall Windows but it crashes before I can even get into setup . . . any ideas? 
    System specs: MSI P67A-GD53, i5-2500k, Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4GBx2, GTX 470, C300 SSD, Corsair 750W PSU

  • Will a USB Keyboard let me enter the BIOS?

    Hi guys,
    I am looking to buy a wireless keyboard/mouse from Microsoft and I have a couple questions for you guys:
    I have the option to use PS/2 connections for both the mouse and the keyboard OR just one USB connection for both. Since I want the mouse to use a USB connection for higher refresh rates, I have to use the USB connection for the keyboard as well.
    1. If i have a USB keyboard, will I be able to enter the BIOS? I am thinking NO because USB devices are loaded when windows xp loads.
    2. Does anybody know if it really makes a difference to use USB vs. PS/2 for the mouse? (for gaming purposes)
    Thanks again.

    FWIW I have a CoolerMaster alloy USB keyboard and while it works fine with XP Pro (SP1a), BIOS does not detect it so I have to keep a PS/2 keyboard around for when I need to play with the BIOS.
    I've tried pluging it in to the front ports, back ports and via the self powered hub on my display with no success. Maybe a later BIOS (I use 1.9) for the 865PE Neo2-FIS2R will fix things.
    Unfortunately, CoolerMaster do not supply a USB-PS/2 adapter unlike every other keyboard manufacturer I've seen and these are very difficult to find as separately purchasable items. So I am stuck with keeping the spare PS/2 keyboard around.
    Anyone know if the same problem exists on other motherboards, especially with the AMI BIOS, or is this just an MSI issue?
    Update
    Just tried installing SUSE 9 Linix on this machine and it hangs when probing USB/loading the uhci-hcd module. I now suspect the 82801 EB USB controller, the MSI implementation or both are faulty in some way but I'll wait for SUSE's reply on this problem.
    With all the problems USB seems to cause I don't think the world is quite ready for legacy free PC's yet
    Update 040120
    Turns out the problem with Linux was because I had "Legacy USB" enabled in BIOS, no problems at all after disabling it.

  • [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.

  • 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!

  • USB keyboard not working before the OS loads after upgrading BIOS on T60...

    Hi all,
    I have another problem with my T60.
    In order to try adding a fingerprint reader, I upgraded the BIOS to version 2.25 last night. The upgrade was successful but, however, my USB keyboard could not function before the OS load, not in the boot screen, nor the BIOS, nor the boot loader menu.
    I have double checked the USB option is set to "Enabled" in the BIOS,
    What's wrong?
    Thanks,
    [edited 2009-12-30] deleted extra words in subject line

    I have a similar problem. I have a ThinkPad T60 1951-F8G running Windows XP with latest Windows updates. I use a USB attached IBM enhanced performance keyboard and Microsoft optical mouse. I recently updated the BIOS to v2.25 and a disk cleanup of my C: drive. On attempting to restart the system, the startup progressed only to the initial Windows XP screen with the 3 blue dots moving very slowly, and startup went no further. I repeatedly powered off the system and attempted restart without success.
    I restored the system to an earlier version using ThnkVantage Rescue and Recovery, updated Windows XP to the latest level, and updated Lenovo system software from the Lenovo PC support site using ThinkVantage System Update to the latest level including updating the BIOS to v2.25. Again, I had the mouse and keyboard directly attached to the USB ports in the ThinkPad. All was well until I replugged the keyboard and mouse into an attached Belkin USB 2.0 4-port pocket hub which resulted in a chain of new searches for new USB drivers to install. The next system restart failed, and it was necessary to return to use the last successful configuration. System restart is now decidedly risky with the system freezing at various stages of startup.
    Prior to installing BIOS v2.25 I had not encountered any such startup problems. This does suggest that there is a problem with USB support in BIOS v2.25.
