Hello/. I just bought a new motherboard, the foxconn g31mx-k, and when the systems goes through POST everything is fine, I can hear the HD being checked and the lights on the mouse and keyboard light up. right after the POST screen the foxconn main screen pops up to enter the bios, but I cant use the keyboard!
This keyboard was working fine, literally 4 hours ago on my Pentium 4. its a PS/2 keyboard. How can I get this fixed? No keyboard=no mobo. The connector is fine because the lights light up,
