My problem is that after starting my computer is that my keyboard will shutoff when screen comes up to hit any key to boot from CD to install windows thus not allowing me to continue on to do anything my keyboard works fine during BIOS setup so I know not problem with keyboard it just shuts off when the first boot up is complete. I am hooking it up threw the USB ports in back as i dont have the converter for the standard ports. Oh i might add that i had a previous motherboard and have all drivers installed for keyboard and mouse also have windows installed i just figured reinstalling windows and starting from new might help things but I can't even do that as my keyboard shuts off and wont allow me to type. Not sure what is wrong with it any tips?

Re:
Try starting up in Safe Mode by tapping the F6 key during boot-up. this prevents drivers from loading. you may have a corrupted keyboard driver. if your keyboard works in safe mode, try uninstall of the kbd driver, then reinstall.. check for a newer driver version.

Shut off the unit; when you turn it back on pay attention to the screen as it should display a message to hit a certain key on the keyboard that will bring you to a screen that will allow to chose starting in normal mode. This message will come up quick on the screen so you need to choose the key on the keyboard rather quickly or the system will just start-up as it usually does.
1.Shut down your computer and then restart it in Safe Mode.To run in safe mode, press the F8 key repeatedly from your keyboard. You must press F8 before
the Windows logo appears. It will display the Advanced Boot Options
screen.
2.From Advanced Boot Options screen, select "Repair Your Computer" and hit
Enter. Choose your preferred keyboard layout and then click "Next."
3. Click "Startup Repair", and follow the on-screen instructions.
Maybe your keyboard is bad and needs to be replaced? Did you spill a liquid on it?
Maybe the keyboard has been hijacked by a virus or infection.
maybe the keyboard cable needs to be reseated which means taking the keyboard up and removing then putting the cable back in. The cable is under the keyboard.
Have you tried booting up in safe mode to see if the keyboard works? Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn itback on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFEMODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will lookdifferent to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this isnormal.
What do you mean not working? Is it that certain keys don't work, or the whole keyboard does not work?
Maybe your keyboard has been hijacked by a virus. Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode to see if it works?

Sounds like your keyboard has been hijacked by a virus. Try booting into safe mode and see if the keyboard acts the same way. Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn itback on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFEMODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will lookdifferent to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this isnormal. If it is ok in safe mode then run your virus scan.

Open a notepad using mouse and then check if u can type in notepad.
Shut down and reboot the system and boot in bios by hitting F2 or F10 or Delete key on keyboard. If u are able to boot in bios ,reset bios.If unable then disconnect keyboard and try different port to connect.If issue persist replaced keyboard.
Is your keyboard also wireless? Check batteries on all wireless devices. If batteries are fine, restart your computer (hold down your power button until your computer shuts down unless you have a reset button) and then try unplugging and plugging back in your wireless receiver, then hit your connect buttons starting with your keyboard followed by your mouse.
