1462160 2019-07-07 07:56:00 I built my very first PC, but after I finish assembling it, I boot it up and it says Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device. Also when I plug my keyboard and mouse in, they won't turn on so I can't fix anything while in BIOS. I don't know what to do.

1462161 2019-07-07 08:37:00 You don't mention what operating system you are using. Were you able to load it down successfully onto your SSD? Bryan (147)
1462162 2019-07-07 09:15:00 Can you boot from a flash drive or CD? It seems the motherboard isn't recognising the harddrive gary67 (56)
1462163 2019-07-07 11:16:00 That error message is normal if an OS hasn't been installed yet, as there's nothing to boot from.

Does the keyboard and mouse work on another PC?

1462164 2019-07-07 21:47:00 The keyboard should work in the BIOS. Make sure its plugged into a port at the back. Try a USB2 port if USB3 doesn't work. autechre (266)

Just adding to Autechre's comment, make sure the keyboard /mouse are plugged into the top ports. it shouldn't really matter but sometimes they dont like others.

1462166 2019-07-07 23:02:00 Sometimes there is a setting in the BIOS for legacy keyboard (USB) .





enable it .

Selecting proper boot device . . . . is the boot drive plugged into sata 1?
Is it an SSD? Is the partition active?
In UEFI bios disbale Legacy boot .


Is boot order correct?

Thats the first thing to concentrate on . Not much you can do if kb doesnt work .

as above, try other USB ports, try another kb (without mouse) .
does the kb numlock/capslock light come on when you push those
Is it a wireless or gaming kb ? .
unplug front USB connectors , unplug all cables except power on cable .

If a kb doesnt work on that board, you may need to take it back

1462168 2019-07-08 06:15:00 If any of the above doesn't work, one more thing you can try -- Remove the Motherboard (leave the CPU/Fan and memory attached/installed) & Power Supply. Put the board on a bench hard surfaced /table, connect the Keyboard /mouse/ Power Supply / Monitor, Plug in the power Supply. DONT use a separate Graphic Card, use the onboard.

You can connect a HDD if you want but not required.

Once plugged in, touch with a small flat bladed screwdriver the Power Pins, this will kick the board into life ( this is all the power button/switch is doing) you should be able to boot into the BIOS, if Not then theres a possible fault on the board.

As marked in red :

If it boots into the BIOS and the KB/Mouse work, then on the original construction, either something was not connected correctly OR more often something may have been short-circuiting.
