Hi there!
Ahead: I gave the pc away to be fixed cause I was fed up so I cant post a logfile, etc. but Id still want to know what you guys think about it.
How do i enter the bios if it doesnt show up and doesnt react even if I try to create a keyboard error?
I think I caught a virus cause I cant start programs anymore. Doubleclick on an icon starts a process as can be seen on taskmanager but program doesnt run no matter what kind of.When I start the pc it says new hardware found and wants to install a driver but cant and I didnt attach anything to the pc.
Someone told me it could be a keyboard error but how come I can still use it then?
So I was gonna set it up again but as I mentioned I cant enter the bios. I pressed all the buttons, in all variations even all at once.
Any ideas?Thanks ahead,
K.
Is it a USB keyboard? If it is, that may be the problem. Try a PS/2 keyboard. Once you're into the BIOS menu, then you can enable USB Legacy Support (or something similar)...that will allow the USB keyboard to be used before Windows loads.
remove the hard drive power cable. You will have no other option but to go into the bios.
It is a USB, I forgot to mention but I cant attach anything else. It is an Eee top so I just have USB and I cant really open it like a normal computer and disconnect a cable cause its comparable to a notebook.
So you guys also think it has something to do with hardware and not virus? Or is it both?
Hello!
Ok, I got my machine back and it works! To be honest, I was surprised. Unfortunately the guy didnt want to tell me much details but it was definitly not a hardware fault it was a virus indeed. And, by the way, not only one...But thanks again for your ideas, jam and wanderer!
