So I finally got my last issue of not being able to access the BIOS with a USB keyboard resolved.  I have been researching this issue and found this seems to be a pretty common problem with Gigabyte boards.  I found a dozen posts on several different sites across the internet.  On one site they said that they resolved the issue by moving their keyboard to the USB port closest to the PS2 connection.  I tried it and my god it worked!!!  I can now get into my BIOS with my USB keyboard instead of having to plug in a PS2 keyboard every time!!!  YAY!!!!

Nice work with the troubleshooting there. As far as the usb keyboard issue getting into bios, well that is just a pain in the @%$^ having to switch to a PS2 keyboard all the time. Logitech KB?

Oh nice rig bytheway  ;D

I tried Logitech G15, Razer Lycosa, 4 different Siatek Eclispe keyboards, along with a handful of basic Dell and HP manufactured USB keyboards.  None of them would work.  Know that I have moved to the USB port closest to the PS2 connection my Lycosa works every time I want into the BIOS.  I don't understand the reasoning behind it all I know is it fixes the issue so I am once again happy :-)

Good Man  ;D Maybe a Bios update may address those issues. I know with my X58 board I had the same problem with a Logitech G15.
