i hope this help.

Try this:

• open BIOS
• Look for HALT settings
• Change settings of HALT ON ALL ERRORS to HALT ON ALL ERRORS EXCEPT KEYBOARD
• Wait for windows to boot then try your keyboard again

Since your computer probably came with ME I am thinking the second solution might work. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks

you need to go into the bios of your pc.....usually pressing the delete key when you see the first logo screen after booting up....look for a section that relates to errors and what the bios is supposed to do when it encounters an error.
i.e if you see a line in the bios that says "halt on all errors" disable it and when you next boot up the bios will not stall.

darian69, windows did not setup correctly. Double check all data cables & power cable connections. (Tight fits).
(This is not an uncommon error). Please download the manufactures drive utility software for a bootable floppy disk or bootable cdrom disk. Test/check & setup the drive, (formatt). Than install windows. Once installed, turn on windows firwall & install nic driver software. Run windows update. Check for hardware updates & install. This should fix the system halt.

Please let me know if this stopped the error message.
