Hello there.
I just reformat my pc from vista to windows xp.
At the end of the process, it said that
computer will reboot. After it reboot, it just
stuck on the welcome screen. Iy still wont go
into BIOS after iI pressed all the key. Please
help me.

The asus welcome screen or the XP welcome screen? Why do you need to get into bios? How large is the hard drive and what version of XP is the disk you're using?

the asus welcome screen. I just saying that it wont get into
bios. When i turn on the pc, the welcome screen appear and
it just stuck there. My hard drive is 80gb and the xp version is
xp pro.

Formatting shouldn't cause it to hang like that. At most you'd get an error message about having no operating system if it tried to boot from the hard drive. Did you do anything else besides just formatting?
It would be better if we could get it to show the posting screen rather than the Asus logo. That way it may show what the problem is. I think hitting the TAB key will do that. I know the KB isn't functioning but maybe if you start tapping the TAB key when you first turn it on, it may respond. Or if it's hanging while trying to access the hard drive the KB eventually may respond. How long do you let it hang before shutting it off? Is it a PS/2 or USB keyboard?
