it show's press f1 to run the setup and f2 to load default value .... how am i to press the f1 anf f2 , keyboard is not funtioning .. but the same keyboard is working with other computer's .... any idea pls...?

Hi Kumar
Two things to try...
1.Replace the battery on the motherboard
2.Reset the CMOs settings
Read the manual of the motherboard and see which jumper number is for the clearing of CMOS/BIOS.
The jumper is usually near the battery with 3 pins (1-2-3)Move the jumper cap from "Normal Operation" which is usually "Pin 1-2" into CLEAR setting for a few seconds "Pin 2-3"
Wait another minute or two, then reseat the jumper cap to normal position
Good luck

i have cange the battery , i have reset the cmos , at last noting work out... is there any posible that the mainbord failure ... but the hardisk and the prosecer is running verry weell...
After i reset the cmos still the same thing happen ... now the problem is ...i cannot enter into the bios it stuck at the main there...
any idea's pls... Thank You..:)

Are you still getting the "checksum bad" message at bootup ?
You said you cannot enter the BIOS setup becuase it is "stuck at the main there"
What do you mean by stuck at the main ?To err is human, but for a complete foul-up, one requires the assistance of a computer !

stuck mean ... it stops there .. nothing work after that ... KB pluged into the mouse port ? i have try all way .. i mean i have try pluged the KB on the mouse port and return it at the original place .... at last till now i cannot go into the bios or windows...
Any idea's pls...
Thank's ~!!

Well, just make sure it's in the KB port.
Open the case and temporarily disconnect the drives and remove all the cards except video. Then see if you can get into cmos/bios setup. By disconnecting all possible hardware you can determine if it's one of those items that's causing it to hang.

I have open the casing .. open the manboard out from the casing.... switch on the power supply and pluged the key board .... then i have run the machine ... still same result .. the keyboard is not funtioning ... i also don't know what kind of problem is it ...
Any idea's or suggestion's ... there is one more thing i did't try yet .. use an external usb keyboard ...any other idea's ?
Please
Thank you..

Since it works on another machine the problem must be with your computer. Maybe the keyboard connection is bad on the motherboard.
As you say, a USB keyboard may be the thing to try.

Most motherboards have a fuse or an overcurrent protection device to protect the motherboard. You might want to check if you have 5 volts available at the keyboard jack. This is one reason to connect peripherals with the power off. USB has the provision for a hot connect (they also have some form of over current protection.
