OK i think i got a bum mobo here but thought i would ask anyway. When i boot up it hangs half way thru POST. If i try to go into the bios settings, i am able to use the keyboard to access bios but once i get in the keyboard stops working. Cant give much more info because this is as far as i can get. Its Foxconn mobo. first one i ever bought and probably the last
