EX58 Extreme mobo no usb keyboard in post

[Vormulac]

Hello folks,

I realise that this is an old motherboard, but I'm still using it and I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I've just had to do a complete rebuild and as I'm dual-booting with easybcd the problem I'm encountering is that my usb keyboards won't work until windows loads; I always enable them in bios whenever I install a new motherboard, so it's not that, but can anyone tell me if there are any usb ports on the board that are given priority that I should use?
This is causing me real problems and I don't want to have to go out an get a ps/2 keyboard and have that hanging around just so I can start my pc!

Any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated!

If you have 5 areas of the USB enabled in the bios and there work in windows. It could be a keyboard thing. Have you tried to pull the battery and clear the cmos. Just to put things back to Sq one.

A keyboard is a keyboard. That is all I have ever used on my computers a Ps2 keyboard because of this kind of problem.

Thanks for the reply. It's not a keyboard thing, I've tried with numerous different keyboards and it's the same with each. I haven't tried clearing the CMOS, because while the PC is working I'm reluctant to mess with it too much!
So it would seem as far as you're aware there are no sockets that the motherboard prioritises during POST? Shame.

Anyway, thank you for your input
