| 1224632 | 2011-08-20 10:53:00 | I guess you can't enter the BIOS and check CPU temperature there because the keyboard doesn't work... Very odd, really. A plain PS/2 keyboard should work just fine no matter what. Have you tried a USB one? |

| 1224633 | 2011-08-20 11:53:00 | This may sound like a silly question, but not being able to see the setup all I can do is ask. The PS2 connections -- are they actual PS2 plugs on the end of the leads, or are they actually USB with an adapter on them ? The reason for asking is, while a mouse can have a USB+Adapter, often a keyboard cant, it doesn't work to well. "If" they are straight USB then remove the adapters. "Normally" the BIOS should be set to detect the KB/Mouse, it does sound like its not when booting and takes windows to make the connection. |

| 1224634 | 2011-08-20 12:38:00 | Originally i was using ps2 mouse and keyboard, I have both usb style keyboard and mouse now. The lights dont appear on the keyboard or mouse until log in screen. Anyway i'm about to clean up some excessive thermal grease I'll post back what happens. | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224635 | 2011-08-20 13:10:00 | Phew so far so good. I can't get my hopes up. This is the longest running since I have cleaned the excess thermal grease off Progress pics: Speedfan stats: i54.photobucket.com |

| 1224636 | 2011-08-20 13:11:00 | I have yet to install the chipset for this motherboard, I haven't tried to launch a game yet either. I dont have the courage. It's all running and stuff and I'm afraid it will kick the bucket again if I do. Any of the above. P.S. there was like 1/2 cm of some gray on the copper connectors I noticed on the cpu I cleaned it off with a paper towel. I'm thinking this was some thermal grease.. |

| 1224637 | 2011-08-20 21:23:00 | Get into the BIOS and see if you can find a setting to enable use of USB keyboard and mouse. Upadting the MOBO drivers is painless. Just let the installer(s) do their thing. HOWEVER, take a look at the voltages in your Speedfan pic. It's reporting your +12v line is at 2.18v and your -12v line is at 4.01v This might reflect your PSU being less than stellar, however, Speedfan isn't the best at reporting things correctly (like the -2 temperature). See if you can pause the text in the initial boot screens to review anything voltage related that may be reported there, then go into the bios (which you can trust more than speedfan) and again see if you can find any voltages being reported. Your core temps in my opinion are still a bit high, but then again, Intel do tend to take a loose line with power consumption and heat with a lot of their processors. |

| 1224638 | 2011-08-20 23:12:00 | Found part of the problem -- The old saying RTFM :eek: DONT use a USB keyboard yet - make sure you have a PS2 keyboard plugged into the purple PS2 Socket. On Page 44 of the manual under Integrated peripherals, the default setting for USB support for both the Keyboard and mouse is set to DISABLED. This is why nothing will work till it boots into windows. Use a PS2 Keyboard, boot and start tapping the Delete Key right away - using the arrow keys go to Integrated peripherals hit enter, scroll down to KB & mouse support hit enter key to expand, arrow key to enable, enter to enable. If you cant get into the BIOS at all, try resetting it back to defaults Via the jumper - see attachment for location. ( page 28 in Manual) |

Definitely Speedfan reading the values incorrectly. If those readings were accurate the machine wouldn't even POST. I do however find the colour scheme of Windows to be a little strange... |

| 1224640 | 2011-08-21 00:57:00 | It has been running games and movies fine now. The cpu fan still wasn't seated correctly. I still need to resolve the keyboard issue, going to try the above suggestion. | Norseguy (12873) | ||
