Hello, I just received this motherboard today and installed all the necessary hardware and there's just one problem; it won't recognize any keyboard I use. Upon the first power-on the lights on the keyboard (scroll, CAPS, and num lock) all flashed, but I can't press DEL or TAB to get into the BIOS menu. Any ideas?
Thanks for the reply, I found the answer on the ASUS website, all I had to do was remove one of my sticks of RAM (I had 2 sticks of 1 gig each), reboot, and it recognized the keyboard. Now I'm running into another totally unrelated problem, which is my computer freezes when I try to install XP. It's a legit copy but my computer stops about halfway through the installation. I appreciate the help.Thanks for the reply, I found the answer on the ASUS website, all I had to do was remove one of my sticks of RAM (I had 2 sticks of 1 gig each), reboot, and it recognized the keyboard.

I'd say it's the memory as long as you didn't have any prior problems like this. There is a program if you search google for memory test it will give you something to burn on a cd and reboot with to test the memory out.I'd say it's the memory as long as you didn't have any prior problems like this.

Re:
You should try updating the bios - here is the link for all the updates;

and here for the procedure;

If that doesn't work, try clearing the CMOS (ask again if you need help with this)
What sort of keyboards are you trying? go for a basic simple keyboard, not wireless, not specialised. Use a ps2 port keyboard not USB.
Hope this helps :)

In the upper left hand corner of the screen, type in the model number of the board (P5N-E SLI) and use the drop down to select a category (probably "All"). Good luck.
From the site, select your OS and it will show you the list of download resources for the board. Click to expand the MANUAL and look for the English version.
In the top-left corner, put 'P5N-E' into the search-box, and do the search.
In the next window, click on 'P5N-E SLI'.
Select "Windows XP".
Select the driver(s) that you want to download.
