Hi, Doug.
What kind of keyboard are you using?
Many keyboards are not recognized by the computer hardware - including the
motherboard - until their drivers are loaded. There are many variations on
this theme, including USB and Bluetooth keyboards. Both of those have given
me problems at different times.
See if you can find a good old-fashioned corded PS/2 keyboard and plug it
directly into the PS/2 port on the mobo. If that gets you into your BIOS,
look for settings that will allow the mobo to recognize the keyboard (and
mouse) before the operating system starts to load. My experience is limited
since I have just one computer, so I only get to see a new mobo every 3-4
years, and I've never had an ASUS board. You may have to study that mobo
manual carefully, and log onto the ASUS web page for more documentation.
My mobo is from EPoX, which has faded away since I got the board 3 years
ago. But some of the best support I found was from other EPoX users in
Usenet newsgroups. There are several Usenet newsgroups with "mainboard" and
"asus" in their names. There is even one called
asus.support.english.mainboard ! You should be able to find some other ASUS
users there, many of whom will be true gurus.
Good luck! And please let us know what you learn.
RC
